What is a Cobbler?
Cobbler is a classic American dessert that is made with fruit filling and a thick dough layer that is placed on top. Cobbler can be made with a variety of fruits, such as peaches, apples, or berries, and is often served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Once baked, the dough becomes flaky and golden brown, while the fruit filling becomes soft and syrupy. The combination of sweet fruit and buttery crust makes for a delicious and comforting dessert.
Its texture and taste are similar to that of a crumble or a crisp, but it differs in that the crust is thicker and more biscuit-like.

Do you do anything to prepare the blackberries? ie…cook them into a compote?
Nope! No need to cook them down with this cobbler recipe Stacey :)
If you did want to cook them down though, you could probably cook them down into this jam.
What is the oven temperature? What do you do with the vanilla? The recipe is incomplete.
So sorry Anna! Thanks for pointing out those missing details.
Preheat your oven to 350F and add the vanilla to the butter and sugar.
I’m in the middle of making these, just took them out of the oven. Do I let them cool in the pan or do I slide it out of the pan and let it cool on the counter prior to slicing?
Hey Shannon! I would just let them cool in the pan :)
