I’ve been making this recipe at least once a week for the past month! I can’t seem to keep it in the house.
This Classic Blackberry Cobbler is a cozy, straightforward dessert featuring a luscious blackberry filling with a perfect balance of sweet and tart, topped with a soft, cake-like batter that bakes to a golden finish around the fruit.

How to Make Classic Blackberry Cobbler
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to warm up.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat the berries evenly. Pour this mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 3: Make the Topping
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing just until smooth and combined.
Step 4: Assemble and Bake
Evenly dollop or spoon the batter over the blackberry filling. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping turns golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the cobbler rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. It’s delicious warm, especially topped with vanilla ice cream, or served at room temperature.
