Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (cherries, blueberries, etc.)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small 8x8-inch baking dish or 4 individual ramekins with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine mixed berries, white sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gently toss until the berries are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the berries to release their juices.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the cobbler topping by mixing all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and baking powder. Stir these dry ingredients until well combined.
- Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
- Transfer the berry mixture to the prepared baking dish or ramekins, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the berry mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 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 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and prevents burning.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- • For the best flavor, use fresh seasonal berries at peak ripeness • Don't overmix the topping - a crumbly texture is key to a perfect cobbler • Let the berry mixture sit for 5 minutes before baking to release natural juices • Use room temperature butter for easier mixing of the crumb topping • If using frozen berries, do not thaw them before mixing to prevent excess liquid • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend • Serve immediately for the best texture - the topping stays crisp and the filling remains warm • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream makes an excellent complementary topping • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for 5-10 minutes to restore crispness
