Blackberry Cobbler – Juicy Berries Baked Under a Buttery Golden Crust!
Sweet, tart blackberries bubbling beneath a rich, golden cobbler topping—it’s the kind of dessert that steals the show, especially when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
When I was little, my mom would send us out with baskets to pick wild blackberries. We’d come back scratched up but proud, and she’d turn them into the most heavenly cobbler. The smell alone was enough to make us hover near the oven like puppies. This simple, rustic dessert still feels like home every time I bake it.
