Ingredients

3 cups blackberries
3 cups blueberries
2 cups raspberries
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp corn starch
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup boiling water
1 tsp sugar (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 13 x 9-inch or 3-quart baking dish with non-stick spray.
Step 2: Rinse the berries and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and corn starch. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again.
Step 3: Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
Step 4: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it becomes crumbly.
Step 6: Carefully stir in the boiling water until the topping mixture is combined.
Step 7: Spoon the topping evenly over the berries, gently spreading to cover them completely.
Step 8: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar on top of the batter for a hint of crunch.
Step 9: Bake the cobbler uncovered for 55-60 minutes, or until the topping is cooked through and golden brown.
Step 10: Serve warm, ideally topped with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Tips & Variations

Swap out berries or add strawberries for a different flavor combo.
Use frozen berries if fresh ones aren’t available; just thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing.
For a richer topping, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour mixture.

Storage

Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or oven until warm. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can also be frozen; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use other types of fruit instead of berries?

Yes, peaches, cherries, or plums can be great alternatives, but be sure to adjust the sugar and thickener amounts depending on the fruit’s juiciness.

How do I know when the cobbler topping is fully cooked?

The topping should be golden brown and set, not wet or doughy. If it’s browning too quickly before cooking through, tent it with foil and bake until done.
