Step back in time to Grandma’s house with your first bite of this delicious Blackberry Cobbler. A sweet buttery cake-like breading that is thin enough to get crisp in all the right places, then loaded up with tart blackberries, and topped with a thick layer of chunky scrumptious streusel… Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm; perfection!!!

 

***IMPORTANT NOTE:  I have gotten so many messages letting me know how wonderful this turned out. Unfortunately I’ve also gotten a few complaints about it not setting up or turning out soupy. I have remade the recipe dozens of times and it’s been wonderful each and every time so I’m not sure what is happening for those that it doesn’t work for. But you ought to know of this before you get started (shooting myself in the foot here I suppose, but I would want to know!).

If looking for other amazing dessert recipes because I just scared you off: check out the Tangled with Taste dessert index: My Creme Brûlée recipe is to die for!

Kid-Friendly Blackberry Cobbler recipe with Flirting with Flavor

Old fashioned blackberry cobbler:

When I was a little kiddo I would often go stay for a couple days at a time at my Grandma Clawson’s house during school breaks…

Wintertime visits were a blast because she lived on a big hill and we could ride sleds in the snow for hours on end.

However, my favorite visits were the summertime visits because that was when all the fruits and vegetables in Grandma’s yard and gardens were in season.

We would pick the “harvest” and then Grandma would spend hours on end cooking, baking, canning, freezing and drying all of the food. Grandma would always make the most delightful peach pies and absolutely scrumptious Blackberry Cobbler. Not to mention; she made the most incredible fruit jams and jellies y’all! Incredible. And she always let us help, which made me feel all grown up even though I secretly wanted to be watching movies or playing with dress-ups.

Y’all, I had a seriously awesome Grandma! If you like good food, then you would’ve loved her.

Blackberry Cobbler with Streusel, easy and delicious recipe by Flirting with Flavor.

 Blackberry Recipes

On the back left side of Grandma’s house there was a giant pine tree. At the base of that pine tree Grandpa had built a little fort out of the leftover bricks from building his and Grandma’s dream home.

They planted blackberry bushes in that little corner of the yard and eventually the blackberry bushes grew up and over the brick fortress.

Those blackberries turned a tiny brick enclosed space into our own “Secret Garden”! The only way to get into the space was by crawling through near the base of the giant pine tree. Inside was dim and to be honest, kind of a boring little place; but it was ours and it was secret and we could sit in there for hours on end while we ate big, fat, juicy blackberries. Our secret garden blackberry fort was heaven!

The bricks from our awesome fort have since been used to make repairs on the house as it aged. However, the memories remain and are strong as ever.

Best Blackberry recipe

I like to be physically active especially during the warm months. I often take my kids hiking and one of our favorite hiking paths is lined with blackberry patches.

Dear reader, you need some blackberry patches! Can I just tell you how delightfully fun it is to cook up a blackberry cobbler with your kiddos, then while it’s baking; listen to them play tag in the house and scream and giggle hysterically as they run around like little crazies.

Do you want to know my favorite part? When they take that first bite! The first taste that is then followed by the happy noises that only food can cause you to make. At which point, my 7 year old will then make up a song about how good the food is:

Oh I love eating Blackberry Cobbler,
Oh I love biting and chewing,
Then it goes to my tummy and makes it so happy…
Until I am pooooooooo-ing!

(Insert more hysterical giggles! Did I mention I live in a house full of crazies? Yes that was a real life example of one of her lovely songs.)

Streusel-topped Blackberry Cobbler recipe by Flirting with Flavor!

Blackberry Streusel

The streusel I use for topping my blackberry cobbler is one I have adapted from a Martha Stewart muffin streusel recipe. It’s delightful!

Something you ought to know though: If you put the streusel on before cooking the cobbler slightly; it will sink into the cobbler in some places. This tastes delightful and does look more like a traditional cobbler recipe.

However, I prefer to place the streusel on the cobbler after it’s been cooking for a prettier presentation of this divine dessert.

Blackberry Cobbler from Flirting with Flavor!

How you streuselize your cobbler is totally your choice! However please be aware that the recipe is written out the way I prefer it rather than the traditional cobbler way.

    After reading what the author wrote about some people saying it turned out soupy, I’m guessing they may have used frozen blackberries rather than fresh? That could account for the extra water in the berries. Maybe the recipe should specify?

    Been baking for 70 minutes, still RAW!! Set timer for 20 more minutes, praying that it will finally bake all the way through!! It smells good but it's soup! I know my oven is fine because I just baked a meatloaf that came out perfect.

      Lynn!!! I just saw this!!! OH NO!!! I'm trying to figure out what else could be wrong. Were the berries wet when you put them in? Or is there something else in the oven too? Oh man i hope you figured it out! I've gotten so many messages about it working out wonderfully, so I'm so sad if it didn't, and hope you will give it another chance.
