Pro Tips for Success:

  • Use fresh or frozen berries: Both work well, but make sure to drain the frozen blackberries well to avoid excess liquid in your cobbler.

 

  • Customize the crust: If you’re gluten-free, swap out regular flour for a gluten-free blend, and the cobbler will still turn out perfectly!

 

  • Serve it with a twist: For extra flair, top your cobbler with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for a delightful crunch.
