A winning recipe, indeed! The blackberries came out perfectly tender and the dough crisped up just right. There aren't many baked desserts that bring summer to mind more than a homemade cobbler served warm oozing with fruit and topped with vanilla ice cream. The buttery crust and sweet blackberries make one delicious fruit dessert. Mmmm, we wish we had a piece right now!
