Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed berries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently toss the ingredients until the berries are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to release natural juices.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the crunch topping by mixing all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
- Transfer the berry mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon crunch topping evenly over the berry mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Berries: Use a mix of seasonal berries for the most complex and delicious flavor profile. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries work wonderfully together.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter is melted but not hot when mixing the crunch topping for the best texture.
- Don't Overmix the Topping: When creating the crumbly topping, mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can make the topping dense instead of light and crispy.
- Check for Doneness: The cobbler is ready when the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the cobbler rest for 15-20 minutes after baking. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
- Storage Tip: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for the best texture restoration.
