Mmmm! Cobbler, grunt, crisp...whatever you call it, put some cinnamon and buttery topping on a fruit and I'm there.

You are right - it's important to take advantage of fresh berries while they're in season! A nice use of them to be sure!

Looks absolutely delicious! We picked up some fresh blackberries from a farm stand and this is a perfect recipe for them!

Although I usually chose chocolate over fruit desserts, there's something about a nice cobbler that I find so comforting. Blackberries are a great berry for this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

How long until it's golden brown? 30 minutes? Or should I just keep checking the oven? Can't wait to try the recipe out! Thanks for sharing!

I can just imagine the beautiful aroma...simply delicious!
Queen of TartsJuly 20, 2011 at 10:19 AM
Beautiful!! If you miss the fresh season you can still make this with Oregon canned Blackberries in syrup. Just leave out the water and sugar.
Bizzy B. BakesJuly 20, 2011 at 1:26 PM
I have to stop looking at desserts. Ones with fruit are so right for the summer and this looks just right for my table. Thanks Claudia.

This looks gorgeous - I love anything with berries in. I have a blackberry bush at the end of my garden (which my housemate and I only discovered about a year after moving in lol) so will have to rustle this one up when they come through

I can verify to everyone that this is hands down one of the very best cobbler recipes around. I use cream instead of milk and my husband has me add more sugar for his sweet tooth. This IS DELICIOUS!
