My mom used to make this in the summer whenever she could get fresh blackberries. We always LOVED this recipe especially when it was warm and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients For fresh blackberry cobbler

  • 1
    pie crust for a double crust pie (you may use your favorite pie crust recipe or a ready made pie crust from the store)
  • 4 c
    fresh blackberries
  • 3/4 c

  • 3 Tbsp
    corn starch
  • 1/4 tsp
    cinnamon
  • 1 tsp
    lemon juice
  • 1/2 c

How To Make fresh blackberry cobbler

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. If using homemade crust, divide the dough in half and roll out and line the bottom of a 2.75-quart baking dish, set in the refrigerator to keep cold.
  • 2
    Place blackberries in a colander and gently wash. Remove any berries with bad spots, leaves and other debris. Gently place the berries into the bottom pie crust.
  • 3
    In a heavy saucepan, add the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon and stir with a fork or whisk to remove any lumps. Add lemon juice and water. Cook over medium heat until thickened.
  • 4
    Pour liquid over the blackberries. Cover with the top crust. Add slits in the top for the steam to escape. Sprinkle with raw sugar.
  • 5
    Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with foil. Return to the oven for 20 more minutes or until golden and bubbly.
  • 6
    Allow to cool slightly. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Although, it's still wonderful at room temp. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
