Blackberries for Homemade Cobbler

It’s blackberry season! You know what that means, right? It’s cobbler time!

I love simple and rustic fruit based desserts. The fruit brings natural sweetness, so minimal sugar is needed, plus you get the natural health benefits and antioxidants from the berries.

These blackberries were amazing! We went foraging for blackberries recently in an area where we know they aren’t sprayed, and they were big, sweet, and delicious!

Right at the same time, we got beautiful peaches in our CSA veggie box, so I knew what I had to do… make a skillet peach and blackberry cobbler!

Skillet Peach and Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

This is a very adaptable recipe, as pretty much any fruit that you have around can be used. I must admit that this is probably my favorite combo, though!

I keep this recipe very low sugar as both the peaches and blackberries are very sweet on their own, but feel free to up the sugar a bit if you’d like.

The process for making this peach and blackberry skillet cobbler is fairly easy!

First, mix together the fruit, honey, and sugar and set it aside while you prepare the biscuits dough.

The biscuits are made in a food processor by combining the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining ¼  cup sugar.

Pulse it once or twice. Add the butter and process for 10 seconds, until the mixture is well blended. By hand, beat in the egg and vanilla.

Alternatively, you can mix it all by hand if you do not have a food processor, just be sure to cut the butter into the dry ingredients first.

Pour the fruit into a buttered cast iron skillet the place the biscuit dough in dollops on top of the fruit before baking in a 375°F oven for 35-45 minutes.

It is quick and easy to make and will please almost everyone! It’s definitely one I will make again and again.

I hope you enjoy!


Seasonal Fruit Desserts

As I said before, I love fruit desserts! You may have noticed that theme recently, and most of them are cooked in a cast iron skillet as well. Here are some of the other fruit based desserts I have made:

  • Skillet Pear and Blackberry Crisp
  • Blueberry Cornmeal Skillet Cake
  • Rhubarb Upside Down Cake
  • Plum and Lemon Upside Down Cake with Lavender Whipped Cream
  • Wild Berry and Nectarine Galette with Goat Cheese and Fresh Thyme

    Thank you for posting this. My oven decided to stop working a while back, and I’ve been tinkering with Dutch oven baking and baking on my gas grill. This will work perfect with the last of my Peachapalozza peaches, and the blackberries in my chicken garden. Perhaps I’ll throw in some apples and plums just because. Fruit salad cobbler….
