Ingredients
Instructions
- Thaw 4 pie crusts and cut 2 of them to fit into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Place the fitted pie crusts into the bottom of the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 quarts of blackberries, one can of sliced peaches with juice, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of flour.
- Mix gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pie crust in the baking pan.
- Dot small pieces of margarine over the top of the fruit filling.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 45 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fruit mixture. If you prefer a vegan alternative, use a plant-based pie crust and substitute margarine with coconut oil. For a twist, swap peaches for another fruit like apricots or nectarines. Remember to let your cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. Pairs beautifully with Homemade Theraflu if you’re feeling under the weather. For an extra touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or sprinkle with chopped nuts. Enjoy as a dessert or a sweet breakfast treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain the crust's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. If you're unsure, you can insert a knife into the filling; it should come out clean if the cobbler is fully cooked.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the fruit mixture and pie crusts a day in advance. Just assemble and bake when you’re ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and saves time on the day of your gathering.
