  • ¼ cup sugar

For the cobbler layer:

  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the rinsed blackberries to the slow cooker. Sprinkle over the 1/4 cup sugar, 1 Tablespoon cornstarch and 2 Tablespoons melted butter. Stir these items together. If you don't want whole berries in your cobbler and want a pureed sauce, take a potato masher and squish the berries at this step.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the dry ingredients listed in the cobbler layer above (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt) stir. Then add the wet ingredients (vanilla, milk and melted butter). Stir until combined, some lumps are fine, do not over mix.
  • Evenly pour this batter over the blackberries. Spread out with a spatula if needed.
  • In a small ramekin or bowl add the Tablespoon of sugar and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, mix. Sprinkle this over the batter.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 2 hours and 30 minutes. Do not open the lid during the cooking time. If your center is still jiggly you will want to place the lid back on and cook for a bit longer.
  • Switch the slow cooker to the warm setting to serve. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Can I use Bisquck Baking mix instead of this from scratch recipe?
Yes! Here is my Bisquick version. It is a little lighter than the homemade version and only needs to be cooked for 2 hours and 15 minutes on high.
  • 1 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
Can I use a different fruit?
Yes, use one or a mixture of the following:
  • Raspberries
  • Sliced peaches
  • Marionberries
  • Boysenberries
  • Blueberries
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4 days. If you want to freeze, you can do so for up to 3 months.
