Whether you’re using peaches, apples, blackberries, or blueberries (or really any other fruit at all), cobbler is one of the easiest desserts out there. It’s one of my favorites too. There are crisps, buckles, crumbles, and slumps, sure — but to me, cobbler rules them all. It’s homey and rustic and is one of the best ways to showcase the fruit of the current season.
In late summer, that’s blackberries.
Making cobbler can be a little deceiving because you kind of make it upside down. You pour your melted butter in the bottom of your baking dish. (In this case, salted, please.) And then you whisk together a quick batter and pour that over the top.
The fruit — which you toss with a little more sugar, generally — goes on top of that batter and then when it bakes the batter comes up through the fruit so you end up with bubbly, syrupy fruit filling below and soft cakey crumb on top (with some delicious crisp edges in the corner).
