We bake this homemade blackberry cobbler recipe in a cast iron skillet to minimize the dishes. The berries cook down just a bit in the skillet before the whole things get popped in the oven.
If you don’t have an oven safe skillet, you can cook your berries on the stove and then transfer to a 9×9 baking dish for the oven.
How to Make Easy Blackberry Cobbler:
Cobbler Topping: The cobbler topping comes together easily in one bowl. Start by mixing the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until you have a coarse, crumbly mixture. Pour in the boiling water and stir together well so that all of the dough is wet. Set aside.
Blackberry Filling: Start by dissolving the starch in a bowl with the cold water. Then add blackberries to a large, deep cast iron skillet over medium heat. Pour in the cornstarch slurry, the lemon juice, and the sugar.
Stir frequently while the filling heats up until it begins to boil. At that point, remove the skillet from the heat.
Top: Drop small bits of the dough over the blackberries to form a top crust.
Bake: Pop this in a hot oven for 25-30 minutes. The filling should be sweet, sticky, and bubbly and the cobbler topping should be golden brown.
