Easy Blackberry Cobbler

I made this cobbler tonight and I didn’t have enough fresh berries only two cups, so I added two cups of frozen berries. So it ended up being a blackberry raspberry blueberry and strawberry cobbler I also split the sugar into half a cup white sugar and a half a cup of brown sugar. I baked it for 50 minutes because of the frozen fruit and I must say it turned out delicious. It is one of the most delicious cobblers I’ve ever had. The crust was sweet and crispy and the lemon added just the right amount of tartness to the fruit. My compliments to the person that listed this recipe on the internet. Thanks very much as I will definitely make this recipe over and over again, with different fruit as I’m sure it will be just as tasty with apples or peaches.

Although this recipe sounded good, I totally failed by adding an extra egg. DO NOT ADD ANY MORE EGGS!! Also I recommend using more sugar and less lemon if the berries aren’t as sweet. I definitely wouldn’t make this again :(

I added an extra egg to the dry mix and baked for 45mins. It came out perfect & delicious. I will make this often. Thank you!

I've now made this twice and was told by a neighbor who went out of his way to say it was the best that he has ever had and wanted the recipe.  Both of us were impressed that the crust remained crispy even over night which is very difficult to achieve with a cobbler.  I used fresh blackberries and followed the recipe nearly exactly, with these exceptions:  I sprinkled about 1 tsp of sugar and about 1 tsp of cinnamon over berries before covering with topping, and I cooked it for easily 10 min over the suggested baking time.  The first time I used a 4x7x2.5" casserole dish which worked, but the topping was thicker and did not cook quite as well as cooking it in the recommended 8x8x2 casserole did, so I'd definitely recommend cooking it in the shallower dish.   A couple of tips are to whisk the egg separately before adding to the flour/sugar mixture; and when dribbling the 6TB of melted butter over topping, make sure that it is poured very lightly over the middle section and evenly distributed so that it doesn't pool in the middle.

Super easy recipe. I did add a bit of sugar to the berries & lemon juice and I added pumpkin pie spice on top then broiled it quickly to finish. Amazing!

** I wanted to clarify that I added the cinnamon to the flour mixture!

I fixed this last night for company and everyone raved about it. The no milk batter had me a little concerned, but, it was great. As suggested, I put 2 TBS of raw sugar over the berrys (and used it in the batter) and cut the butter back to 4 1/2 TBS. I let it sit for 30 minutes before baking which gave the butter time to absorb into the batter. No pooling. Also cooked it 50 minutes to brown it a little more.

This is now my go to cobbler recipe!

This dessert is awesome, it is suitable for this summer. Thanks for sharing the guide video, it is easy to make follow each step.http://photoeditor360.com/(photo editor)

I really wasn't sure about this recipe but others weren't giving me enough berries and were a bit too sweet and dry.  I took a chance and  it's most certainly the best I've had since leaving home.   Quick, easy with just enough texture for a curst.  

I made this recipe many times and love it. Would like to use frozen berries this time. Do you thaw the berries first or just use them frozen? If you use them frozen, how much longer do you cook it?  

That's funny, "I followed the directions "except" I used coconut oil instead of butter. I don't think that ruined it." Maybe you should of tried thinking along with if you didn't follow the recipe as it was stated, then why would you give it a 1 star. Unless you follow the recipe as it is posted, please don't give your opinion on this dish. Instead, make your own post and put YOUR recipe the way YOU make it and then give IT a 1 star, cause you really do not know what this RECIPE is like cause you changed it. It is rude to do and say what you did, and quiet frankly the recipe is absolutely fantastic when followed as posted. Oh and maybe use ripe berries instead of the green not ripe ones... It makes a HUGE difference.. Great recipe all the way around.. Thanks for posting it!!!!

I had some fresh blackberries to use in a dessert. I was so afraid to pick the wrong recipie and ruin the berries from my moms garden. I used this recipe, tweaked a couple things and it came out absolutely scrumptious!! And soooo easy!! I skipped the lemon juice (fresh blackberries should be tart enough) and added one heaping tablespoon of white granulated sugar sprinkled onto the berries after I placed them in a greased floured 8x8 glass pan. For the batter I used 3/4 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup light brown sugar instead of all 1 cup white. The 6 tablespoon of butter is perfect, not sure what others complained about. I baked for 40 minutes. Will make this again for sure with other fruit xoxo

I followed the directions except I used coconut oil instead of butter. I don't think that ruined it. The "crust" was more like granola than a cobbler crust. The berries were very sour because all the sugar was in the topping. I don't understand all the 5 star ratings. It just wasn't good. I wish NO star was an option.

I misread and put the lemon juice in the batter. Had to stiffen it up with some additional flour and add more juice to the berries. I think I'll do it that way again...let's just say nobody complained.

I have made this recipe at least twice a year since it first came out. I've even done it during the holidays with apples cut into small pieces. Delicious!! 

Was very easy to make I did not get a sticky mess. I believe others may have used extra large or jumbo eggs. I used one large egg, the 5 dozen box from Wal-Mart. I did not have the butter lake either I poured over the whole dish. Will post after taste

This is my favorite recipe for fresh berries. Always turns out perfectly. Be sure to drizzle the butter over the crumbly topping.  So easy and great topped with vanilla bean ice cream.

Don't mix the melted butter in the batter!  Read the recipe please.  This is the easiest and the best of all the cobblers I have made in my 58 years of baking.

It's both. Depending on what area you live in, there are multiple ways of fixing anything from a cobbler to a crisp to a Betty to a Buckle and a grunt or a slump. I looked all over for what I knew as cobbler and couldn't get why everything was cakey. What I had in school was known as Brown Betty in the northeast is a cobbler in mid southeast. Some folks call it a Crumble. So it's all things depending where you live.

Baked it for 15 minutes longer than suggested because the butter made it soggy. Final result was a great consistency, but could still taste butter.

That's your fault. You ALWAYS read the recipe before putting ANY ingredients together. Saying it has too much butter is absolutely ludicrous. You easily use that much in pie crusts and cookies. Not even a stick! Why would you mess up the review system here just because you didn't want to read through the recipe?

I just made this because the recipe review was so good. Oh, NO! This recipe has too much butter, way too much butter. I can't eat it. My husband can't eat it. I simply ruined my perfectly good blackberries. Do Not Ever Use thus recipe!!!!!!!!

I want to add ' No star' but not an option.

I just made this recipe for the first time and it was wonderful! It was easy to make and sooooo yummy! My egg/flour/sugar mixture was a little sticky, but I was still able to spread it evenly over the berries with excellent results. The lemon juice definitely brings out the flavor of the berries! The combination of sweet batter and tart berries is lovely, and the berries themselves become gooey and syrupy and delicious during baking. I served it with vanilla ice cream and everyone loved it! I will definitely be making this again!

Had friends up to the mountains. Wanted to make something for them that was different, natural, and of course delicious. Besides picking the berries, this was SO easy to make. I threw two small apples and a handful of blueberries in as well. Bought vanilla ice cream and whip cream and everyone was smiling after the first bite. Enjoy!

 My only qualm is that this is a crumble, not a cobbler. A cobbler is topped with rounds of biscuit, cookie, or cake dough. Otherwise, this is a great dish. 

I made this recipe on the 4th of July for a family dinner. I used boysenberries rather than blackberries and lime juice instead of lemon juice. I also doubled the recipe for a 9 x 13 pan. Since the berries were still somewhat frozen, it needed baking an extra 10-15 minutes. The butter did pool on top, but eventually baked in. I also added a tsp. of cinnamon to the flour/sugar mixture. It was a huge hit, especially topped with vanilla ice cream.

I made this easy, delicious recipe early this morning...4th of July. I had an abundance of assorted fresh berries that needed to get used. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries combined made this cobbler one of the best it have baked and eaten. I read one of the reviews that stated the crumb mixture was a wet mess. Based on my experience with this recipe I am of the thought that the baker mixed the egg AND the butter into the dry ingredients which would surely create a sticky mess! The dry ingredients and the egg did indeed make a lovely, dry, crumbly mixture. I added a light sprinkling of cinnamon on the top before popping it into the oven. The house smelled heavenly!

This recipe is a keeper!! I look forward to making it again with other fruit. Give this great recipe a go. You will not be disappointed!

I love how easy this recipe is, very quick to put together. However, I thought it was way too sweet and am surprised by the other comment that recommends adding extra sugar to the blackberries. Next time, I'll probably reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup.

Loved making this.  So easy.  We loved it and so did our guests.  I made the whipped cream in 15 seconds with my Nutribullet.  Can't wait to make this with fresh peaches.

Blackberries , of course were great but didn't think the topping was that good. I have made lots better.

Delicious! This is probably the best cobbler recipe that I have made. Not too sweet or doughy and very easy. I wish I had doubled the recipe because it dissapeared very quickly. Plan on using fresh peaches tomorrow for a family reunion. Yum!

Can't believe how simple this was! And it tasted as good or better than cobblers I've made that were difficult. The only thing I would do differently is to maybe add a tad of sugar into the berries themselves. It wouldn't take much more than a tablespoon or two. Loved this and so did my southern-raise-on-cobblers hubby!

I made this recipe exactly as directed and it was AMAZING! Will definitely make it again and use other fruits. Great base cobbler recipe! LOVE the crunch. Im not a big soggy cobbler lover, especially bc those kind mold so quickly.

Absolutely delicious and so easy to make! Whole family LOVED it!!!!

I can't possibly understand how this recipe can be rated 5 stars. Mixing egg in with flour and sugar does NOT make a course meal -- it makes a sticky mess. It would be much better to eliminate the egg completely and just mix the flour, sugar and butter together. Now this will make a proper coarse meal!

Very easy recipe and so delicious......I only used half a cup of sugar, plenty sweet enough for me and my family....

Loved this and have used this recipe for many years. Almost any fruit or berry works well in this. I have used blackberries, blueberries, apples and peaches, and all have turned out well. I have also used self rising flour which produced a crispy, biscuit-y like topping, which I liked even better.

reminds me of when my mom made this for us(my brother & I ) when the to of was growing up on the old tarm

This is both delicious and a huge return on a rather minimal work investment, thus meriting a 5-star rating. Used whole wheat pastry flour in place of AP and you couldn't tell the difference. Unlike other reviewers, I did *not* add additional sugar to the berries or mix the topping with the berries, nor did I think it needed it. I used a combination of sweet and tart berries and I did put in the tablespoon of lemon juice (which helps brighten the flavor), but with 1 whole cup of sugar in the topping, that was more than sufficient sweetness for me (and I am a sugar addict). The sweet crust contrasted with the semi-tart berries is lovely. However, the butter lake phenomenon is real. I combatted it by cooking for an extra 10 minutes (it may have been that long because some of my berries were still partially frozen at the start), until the lake vanished and the cobbler was crispy brown and bubbling all the way to the center. The broiler route others have suggested would probably work too.

One of the easiest Blackberry Cobbler recipes you'll ever make. And so good. The recipe works with fresh peaches too! Like other reviewers, I added a bit of sugar to the berries before adding the topping.

This is an awesome receipe. I made it for my husband as it is his favorite; he was so complementry i had to have some myself ... and he was right. Well deserving of five stars.

My boyfriend isn't a huge sweet fan, but he loves blackberry cobbler, so I promised him months ago that I would make it for him. I searched so many pages of recipes online and decided after all of the wonderful reviews that I would try this one. It was REMARKABLE! It was so easy to make. I went ahead and followed the advice of some other reviewers and cut down the butter to only about 4 1/2 tablespoons, and I sprinkled the blackberries with sugar before placing them in the pan. I omitted the lemon juice due to the lack of it, and it turned out awesome. Thanks, Southern Living!

This was really good! I used cupcakes paper holders though, which turned out great:) The only thing I will change next time is mixing the blackberrys into the 'dough'. Definately will make this again!

This was a very delicious and simple recipe. My family enjoyed it. If I would do anything different it would be to toss the blackberries with sugar before putting into baking dish and to broil for 1 minute on low after baking to crisp up topping, as the butter did pool on top as one reviewer said.

Awesome dessert! I'll be making this one again and again.

New go to recipe for cobbler.

Definitely easy and was great!

Turned out great...and I am not a baker!

I just made this wonderful recipe its so easy which is my favorite part other then it taste so yummy! The only thing I did different was sprinkle sugar on top of blackberries and cooked a little longer to brown the top. One other thing I might try next time is make more crust because that is my favorite part! Thanks!

This LOOKS like an outstanding recipe, but I am confused. I have read and re-read DawniFufu's comment from 8/2010 and do not understand it. Chatter Chicken Champs? Is that a local butter or margarine somewhere (...soothing on my fingertips...)? Does anyone know??

I just made this with blackberries and raspberries for July 4th. Since I wanted something that didn't require much prep time, this fit the bill. I did add some sugar and flour to the berries for sweetening and thickening, and I added a pinch of salt to the topping mix since most recipes call for some. Ended up baking this a few minutes longer so the top would get nice and brown. This was delicious with whipped cream on top. And the topping got nice and crunchy. My family loved it. I will try this with apples next and add some cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and brown sugar to the fruit. I seldom bake because I absolutely hate tedious recipes. This was just my speed! Definitely a keeper!

I had never made blackberry cobbler (only peach) so I looked this up and decided to try it. Took me about 5 minutes to plop it in the oven. SO easy! And although I did see a little pool of margarine on top, it didn't bother me. LOL! It tastes so sweet and yummy. And because it's so easy I'll be bookmarking it and making it often - want to try blueberries next time!

So yummy and so easy! I reduce the amount of butter/margarine by almost half. Made it for the umpteenth time last weekend but I used blueberries instead of blackberries. I think I like it even better that way!

Used this recipe with mixed berries and because we're in the desert our fruit isn't very sweet so I added 1/4cup of sugar with the lemon juice. Everyone raved and wanted seconds. Truly Yummy.

I HAVENT TRIED IT YET, BUT IT LOOKS GOOD! I MADE IT WITH CHATTER CHICKEN CHAMPS, AND WE GOT OUR HANDS A LITTLE MESSY, BUT IT FELT NICE AND SOOTHING ON MY FINGERTIPS.

Awesome and EASY. I have used other fruit instead as well and EVERYONE LOVES IT! Will do this over and over again!

My family has enjoyed this cobbler for many yrs. Here at home,(Louisiana) We have a big vireity of berrys, so, do make it with any berry you want, it's great. tks

This is a delicous cobbler topping that can be used with any fruit. I liked it because the topping was crunchy and flavorful and the fruit doens't end up too sweet. Delicious.

My husband and I loved this recipe. It was delicious. I did sprinkle a little sugar on the berries. I will definitely be making this again.

I don't think I used enough butter, because I couldn't get my topping fully wet with the butter drizzled on top. Other than a few dry bits of topping, it was very tasty. I used half sugar, half splenda and light butter and it still tasted great, but with much better nutritional stats.

I can't believe this recipe has so many 5-star reviews. It was just ok. It was easy, but I wasn't impressed with the results. There are much better recipes out there (see 'Blackberry Dumpling Cobbler.')

super easy and super delicious! The only thing I would change would be to cut the butter down to 4 tablespoons, it pooled a bit on the top and I don't think you would miss it, and it would cut the fat content down a bit.

This was wonderful. My family loves it. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this twice so far and it's been delicious both times, served warm over vanilla bean ice cream. One suggestion I would make is to cook it 35-40 minutes, then broil it for 3 minutes or so to get the topping nice and golden. At least for me, the topping never seems quite ready otherwise, and cooking it for longer results in the berry juices attempting a coup d'etat on the topping's territory. Bon appetit!

Great topping - I used 1 drained canned blackberries and 1 drained canned bluberries because they are always in the cupboard and it was fabulous. Talk about easy!

this is wonderful. I used frozen blackberries, sweetened with sugar and doubled the recipe for a 9X13 pan - my cobbler took a little longer cooking (berries were thawed) I just took it out of the oven when it was brown on top. AS OTHERS COMMENTED - My company loved it! Whipped cream was just right after a big meal.

This is a winner for sure! I made it with freshly picked blackberries but only had 2 cups at the time so I added 2 cups of blueberries and it was delish!! I will definitely be making this again. I think it would be good with any kind of berries. Have some fresh blackberries that I froze for later use and will be pulling this out of the recipe bag in the middle of Winter. Yum! Would make this for a special occasion.

This was outrageously good and very, very easy to make. I used a carton of fresh blackberries from the farmer's market and sprinkled them with a little extra sugar before adding the topping. Served with vanilla ice cream, it's just scrumptious. This is my new go-to cobbler recipe.

Easy and delicious - what's not to love??? Served warm with vanilla ice cream.

I have tried to make blackberry cobbler in the past and when I saw this recipe on the cover of Southern Living I knew it was for me. I have served this many times and everyone always loves it. This is now my favorite recipe. I pick my blackberrys in the summer and freeze them in 4 cups individually so they are ready to use.

Wonderful! I used fresh berries and I did add a lot of sugar to them. I doubled the recipe and put it in a 9X13. I will make again...so easy!

Elegant, easy, delicious. What a great dessert. I would just add a little sugar to the berries. Did not have it with the whipped creme, will try it with the creme next time.

I have made this recipe several times and have been pleased each time. It always gets rave reviews and there are alomost never leftovers! Enjoy!
