Skillet Blackberry Cobbler

There’s something undeniably comforting about a warm, bubbly cobbler, especially when it’s filled with sweet, juicy blackberries. This skillet blackberry cobbler recipe is a classic dessert that’s easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.

The best part about this recipe is that it’s made entirely in one pan, making cleanup a breeze. The crisp, buttery topping contrasts perfectly with the soft, tangy blackberries, creating a delicious harmony of flavors and textures.

To make this cobbler, you’ll need a few simple ingredients, including fresh or frozen blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, almond extract, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter. The filling is made by combining the blackberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and almond extract, while the topping is a simple batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter.

Once the ingredients are combined, the filling is poured into a greased skillet and the topping is dropped on top. The cobbler is then baked in a preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a truly indulgent dessert. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply looking for a cozy treat for yourself, this skillet blackberry cobbler is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Questions I often get asked about this recipe:

Can I use frozen blackberries instead of fresh ones?
Absolutely! Frozen blackberries work just fine for this recipe. Make sure to thaw them completely before using them.

Can I substitute other fruits for the blackberries?
Yes, you can! Other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or peaches would be delicious in this cobbler. Just adjust the sugar and cornstarch amounts as needed depending on the sweetness of the fruit.

What can I use instead of a cast-iron skillet?
A 9×13 inch baking dish will work just fine. However, the cast-iron skillet helps to create a nice crust on the bottom of the cobbler.

How do I know when the cobbler is done?
The cobbler is done when the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. You can also insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cobbler is done.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
While you can assemble the cobbler ahead of time, it’s best to bake it fresh when ready to serve. This ensures that the topping is crispy and the filling is warm and bubbly.

What you need to make Skillet Blackberry Cobbler:

For the topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons melted butter

For the filling:

4 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

How to make it:

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare skillet: Grease a 9×13 inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish.

Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and almond extract. Stir until well combined.

Pour filling: Pour the blackberry filling into the prepared skillet.

Make the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined.

Drop topping: Drop spoonfuls of the topping batter evenly over the blackberry filling.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips:

Don’t overmix the topping batter. Overmixing can result in a tough topping. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cobbler to set.

Serve the cobbler with your favorite toppings. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream is a classic pairing, but you can also add a drizzle of chocolate sauce, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream cheese frosting.
