Blackberry pies have crust on the bottom and top! Cobblers, on the other hand, are only topped with pie crust or sweet biscuits, or have the fruit baked right into the batter like in this recipe. I just told you that my mother-in-law tops hers with pie crust. What is the difference between blackberry pie and blackberry cobbler?īlackberry pie is made with pie crust, and I know what you're thinking. A mix of a few fruits like blueberries and blackberries would be divine! You can even use frozen fruit if you don't have fresh. Swap in blueberries, raspberries, peaches, or pitted cherries if you want. What fruit besides blackberries can you use in this cobbler? It uses pretty basic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. The texture is cakey and tender, and it's hard to mess up. This is one of those easy summer desserts that you can whip up when you find out you're having company at the last minute.

Why is this the best blackberry cobbler recipe? It's sweet and rich and the blackberries are bursting with juiciness. It can really stand on its own without a creamy accompaniment such as ice cream or whipped cream, but it's really good with either one. They're all delicious in their own right, but this is my favorite version.

Some cobblers start with a batter that the fruit gets baked into. Some folks top theirs with sweet biscuits like in this peach cobbler recipe. 2 12 - 3 cups frozen blueberries (or fresh, but frozen work a bit better) 23 cup sugar. Some, like my mother-in-law, top theirs with pie crust. Everyone has their own idea of what cobbler really is. I'm going to tell you something that I've learned about cobbler over the years.
