Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Add 8 cups of fresh or frozen berries to the sugar mixture. If using frozen berries, add 1 cup of flour instead of 2/3 cup.
- Pour the berry mixture into a greased baking dish.
- Cut 2 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and distribute over the berries.
- Cover the berries with pastry for 3 crusts, fitting it over the filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the berry mixture. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a blend of almond flour and cornstarch. To avoid a soggy bottom crust, pre-bake the pastry for about 10 minutes before adding the filling. For extra sweetness, drizzle honey over the berries before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert experience. This blackberry cobbler pairs beautifully with Old-Fashioned Molasses Pie for a comforting meal. Enjoy it alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea for a perfect afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for 30-60 seconds, but be cautious as the filling may get very hot.
