Today I’m going to share with you the new found love of my life, the ‘Fruit Cobbler’.How else would you explain the fact that in the past month I’ve made it not once or twice or thrice but 5 times!! I’m not kidding!Its THAT good and with Berry for our theme for this month’s bloghop, I knew exactly what I was going to be making AGAIN. 🙂
Cobbler is a classic American deep-dish fruit Dessert where the fruits are either enclosed in a thick fluffy pillow of a butter batter or have a drop biscuit or crumb topping.While I’ve had the fruits with crumb toppings before, the fruits enclosed in the crust was new to me.
I tweaked the original recipe by cutting down on the butter and used Olive Oil instead in my batter and trust me it tasted delicious.I didn’t miss the butter in my batter at all!I’ve made these using blackberries here,but you can use any seasonal fruit like apples, peaches,plums,mixed berries etc.The lemon sugar is the key in this recipe as it adds that sweet lemony touch to the Dessert!

Soni,
Your beautiful cobbler reminds me of summer at Grandma’s with fresh blackberries. I’m sure that it tastes as good as it looks with the juicy berries, and sweet cake.
Sending lots of#berrylove your way!
Wonderful recipe Soni, similar to a traditional french Clafoutis. You have inspired me to make this with some lovely raspberries. Yum!
Oh, I love cobblers, too…and blackberry would be near the top of my favorites! So juicy and wonderful…sending you lots of #berrylove, Soni!
It looks absolutely delicious!
Thankyou all for your beautiful messages!Hugs~
Ahh, it’s definitely the start of cobbler season! I can’t wait to try your version with olive oil and lemon sugar – yum.
Gorgeous photos and I love that you used blackberries for a cobbler! Thanks for the berrylove!
Soni, my mouth is watering looking at all the photos. I can see why it’s become a staple at your table. Mmmmm! Happy berrylove!
Looks delicious! I’ve never attempted blackberry cobbler before.
Mmmmmm, it reminds me of a bread pudding, and looks fantastic! We don’t have blackberries here yet but maybe I’ll try it with peaches or cherries, as you say.
Have a fantastic #berrylove!
YUMMM! I love the idea of sprinkling lemon sugar. The cobbler looks great Soni! 🙂
This looks so good! I don’t have access to any berries at this time of year to be able to join the bloghop! Plenty of rhubarb but no berries.
You could use frozen berries with rhubarb to create something too!!
