Juicy blackberries bubbling beneath a golden, buttery crust — this cobbler is everything homemade dessert should be.
This classic Southern-style treat is simple to make but full of rich, comforting flavor. As it bakes, the berries release their sweet-tart juices, creating a jammy filling that seeps up into the golden, crisp topping. Served warm — especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream — it’s pure dessert bliss.
Perfect for summer when blackberries are ripe, but just as delicious made with frozen berries any time of year, this cobbler brings that fresh-from-the-oven magic to every bite. Whether you’re hosting guests, feeding your family, or just craving something warm and sweet, it never disappoints.
