Description
A warm, gooey blackberry cobbler baked in a cast iron skillet with buttery flaky pie crusts and a perfectly sweetened blackberry filling.
Ingredients
1 box of 2 refrigerated pie crusts (Pillsbury recommended)
2 (14-16 oz) bags frozen blackberries
1 stick butter, melted
1⅓ cups sugar (for berries)
½ cup flour
¾ cup sugar (for crust)
½ stick butter, cut into small cubes
½ cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Unroll one pie crust and fit it into a 12-inch cast iron skillet, pressing it up the sides.
- Pierce the crust all over with a fork.
- Bake the crust for 7 minutes, then remove it from the oven.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, 1⅓ cups sugar, and flour until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Add the blackberries to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the mixture.
- Pour the berry mixture into the prepared skillet and sprinkle the water evenly over the berries.
- Unroll the second pie crust and cover the berries, sealing the edges to the skillet.
- Dot the top crust with the small cubes of butter.
- Sprinkle ¾ cup sugar evenly over the crust.
- Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until the edges are bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Use a pie shield or foil around the edges to prevent burning if desired.
Notes
Add a splash of lemon juice or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to brighten the berry filling.
Swap half the blackberries for fresh blueberries or raspberries for texture variation.
Use gluten-free pie crusts for a gluten-free version.
Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the sugar and flour mix for a warm spice twist.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in microwave for 30-45 seconds or oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes to keep crust crisp.
Freeze wrapped tightly for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
Use a pie shield or foil to prevent crust edges from burning during baking.
