There is nothing quite like blackberries during the warmer months. Turn freshly picked blackberries into a small delicious Blackberry Cobbler! This recipe is extremely easy and it tastes great!
Cobblers originate from America. They are a fruit dessert that is a variation on pie. Cobblers are baked in a deep dish, includes a thick crust of some sort, and is filled with fruit. Berries, apples, and peaches are all popular fruits used for this dessert. Cobblers can have a crumb topping, a drop biscuit topping, or be completely enclosed in crust.
The first American cobblers were savory, not sweet. Colonists could not find the proper ingredients for English style steamed suet puddings and had to improvise using whatever ingredients were around them at the time. Savory cobblers were often served as the main course for dinner or for breakfast. It was not until the late 19th century that they were made primarily as desserts.
Personally I love making cobbler, because I love that it tastes like pie without all the work of making pie crust. Making a pie from scratch takes hours. While with cobbler all I have to do make batter and add fruit to it before I bake it. When I smell that fruity, crusty aroma fresh out of the oven I get nostalgic. Cobbler always reminds me of summer potlucks and picnics when the fruit is at its peak flavor. I hope that this recipe brings you smiles and happiness! Please enjoy!
