Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust

Although you could definitely use fresh blackberries, I used frozen blackberries because they are all in season and are easy to use since there is no prepping. However, I used a homemade pie crust, but you could definitely use a storebought pie crust in your blackberry cobbler to make things super simple.
I started by boiling the frozen blackberries with water and sugar. Although adding water to a cobbler may sound odd, you need to add some water if you are going to boil the berries because if you don't, eventually all of the juice in the berries will boil away and the berries will stick to the bottom of the pan. It may also seem like boiling the berries before adding them to the cobbler is extra work, but most old fashioned blackberry cobbler recipes with pie crust in the South first call for boiling the berries: that way, you ensure that some start to break down and help to create a thicker syrup.
Everyone is familiar with pie crust on the top and bottom of a cobbler or pie, but most people have never thought about putting pie crust inside of a blackberry cobbler to make dumplings. In many traditional Southern cobbler recipes, people add little pieces of pie crust, drops of dough, or pieces of biscuits in order to form small pieces of dough within the fruit filling. Even though some may think this boiled dough would turn out spongey or leathery, it is actually smooth and silky, the soft pie crust dumplings offers a great contrast to the crispy pie crust on the top of this blackberry cobbler.
This blackberry cobbler with pie crust and dumplings is the best, so I hope that you watch my recipe video, as well as Ms. Brenda Dee's video. Her recipe was the inspiration for this one, so be sure to check out her video. If you make my old fashioned blackberry cobbler recipe, watch my video: it is the best!👨🍳🥧

I agree, a cobbler just tastes better in a square dish. The pie looks delicious as always

Parnell is a delicious cobbler. The precision and thoroughness of your recipes are second to none. When you cut into it and it doesn't ooze everywhere is a real proper cooked cobbler. Great stuff chef!

I simply adore blackberries. When l was a little girl they grew wild on our farm and we had them so many ways. Even just warm right off the vine. This is a great recipe.

Last year I tried a dozen different recipes with my home grown blackberries. Yours was the first recipe I tried on them this year. I need look no further! We love this!

Blackberries are awesome! That looks great. I finished my 30 days off sugar! Celebrated with a bowl of ice cream the next say at 930 in the morning LOL. Back off sugar until the end of the month. Maybe I will make this to celebrate next 😊

I take half the berries and use a potato marker and mash the berries. I use tapioca to thicken. Bring to a boil, boil 2 minutes add the rest of the berries. I get rave compliments on my berry pies or cobbler.

I don't what's better ...blackberry cobbler, or peach cobbler. This would be so good with a big ol scoop of homemade ice cream.

My grandma was a southern woman. She made a rendition of this and called it pot pie (made in a pot). She didn’t use a bottom crust. She added pie crust dumplings and butter pats before putting on the top crust. There was nothing better!

Love blackberry ❤️
-
It looks delicious.

Parnell now you’ve done one of my favorites blackberry cobbler this looks so delicious and tempting. Love how you used your homemade crusts and cut them to fit the square cobbler pan but very good tips on over boiling the corn starch that it could lose its thickening ability I love how you just added it at the end and let it simmer in the oven great latticework obvious on your top pie crust when you cut into this I was there with my fork ready to share fantastic recipe
