An easy blackberry cobbler recipe mixed with a traditional crumble. It’s not too sweet, very easy to make and perfect for a summer evening dessert.
My favorite cobbler is one with a buttery taste, more of a crumble texture to it and that’s not too sweet.
This is an easy recipe that is a mix between a traditional cobbler and a berry crumble. It’s perfect for serving during the summer with large scoops of vanilla ice and even a glass of wine!

What can you do with picked blackberries?
If you love to go blackberry picking or even blueberry picking in the summer, a cobbler is one of the best desserts to make with picked blackberries!
You can also make a delicious blackberry simple syrup to use for cocktails, a blackberry bramble or even blackberry cupcakes! Toss them in a salad or use them on a cheeseboard. There are so many wonderful options!
Should you wash blackberries?
Put the blackberries in a strainer and run cool water over them to wash. This will clean dirt and anything else that is hanging around on the berries! It is important to wash them before baking with them.

Loved this recipe and so did the group I made it for
My question :can I make the 2 components ahead and put together the next day?
Thanks, Judith
Worst instructions ever. Ingredients call for 1 cup of sugar. First step calls for the one cup of sugar. Then in separate step calls for the sugar again.
I modified this and my cobbler was delicious. Thank goodness this wasn’t my first attempt at a cobbler.
The recipe calls for 2 cups sugar and different times. 1 cup goes into the filling and 1 cup goes into the crumble. Sorry if that was confusing to you!
An ingredients list is so that you can gather ALL of your ingredients prior to starting.
Once you start and the ingredients list was not given correctly, it definitely slows things down, while you are sorting out the mistake.
Again even though the ingredients list was not listed properly, I was able to figure out what needed to be done, and my cobbler turned fabulous.
I am very happy to see that the ingredients list has been updated to the correct amounts. Now others will be able to bake their cobblers without wasting time rereading and figuring out mistakes.
This sounds delicious! Can’t wait to make this for my family.
