Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt 1/2 stick of margarine in a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 3/4 cup milk in a bowl.
- Pour a line of batter lengthwise down the middle of the baking dish; the margarine will float to the sides.
- Pour a line of blackberry pie filling down the middle of the batter; the batter will bake around the filling.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 to 55 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the flour before measuring. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works well. You can substitute the blackberry pie filling with any fruit filling, like cherry or peach, for a different flavor. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the taste and give it a cozy feel, reminiscent of traditional American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Mattie Coley'S Sweet Potato Pie for a delightful dessert spread. Consider pairing it with a cup of coffee or tea for a comforting afternoon treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh blackberries instead of pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh blackberries, but you'll need to sweeten them slightly, as pie filling is usually sweeter. Combine fresh blackberries with a bit of sugar and cornstarch to create a similar filling texture.
What can I do if my cobbler is too dry?
If your cobbler turns out dry, it may be due to overbaking. To prevent this, keep an eye on it during the last 10 minutes. You can also serve it with extra milk or cream to add moisture when serving.
Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, this cobbler recipe is vegetarian-friendly as it contains no meat or animal products. Just ensure that you use a vegetarian-friendly margarine or butter substitute if needed.
