Confession: I think cobbler is my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I love pie. I love cake. I own a cupcake business, so, like, I'm obviously a big believer in those too. But I think cobbler is my favorite. I love how it's dessert but not overtly sweet (perfect for summer!). I love the rustic, country look of cobblers. I love the word cobbler. I'm into it. Here are my favorite three variations on classic cobbler. The recipes below are for the toppings only. For the fruit base I usually combine 4-5 pints fresh or frozen berries, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. This is for a small cobbler, double if you're using a large pan.
Strawberry Spoon Cake Topping
Needed: 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 3/4 stick of melted butter, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a bowl cream together the sugar and butter. Add all the other ingredients and stir to combine. Spoon batter over the fruit. Bake at 375 F for 45-50 minutes.
Blueberry Crumble Topping
Needed: 3/4 cup flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 stick of cold butter and 1/2 cup oats.
Raspberry Classic Cobbler Topping
Needed: 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 stick of cold butter and 1/2 cup milk.
In a food processor combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pulse to combine. Cube and add in the cold butter. Pulse until batter is crumbly. Pour in the milk and pulse until moistened. Scoop mounds of batter over fruit. Bake at 375 F for 45-50 minutes.
Have fun mixing up your own fruit cobblers this season! xo. Emma
I've never had it but you've managed to make me curious!

Despite the low-carb diet my doctor put me on, I need to try these.

I love crisps. I love how easy they are to make. All my favourite desserts include fruit of some sort. I have to confess though, I've never made a cobbler. It sounds as easy as a crumble so I will definitely give this a try. Thanks for sharing Emma :)

I need to do this! I think my cast iron skillet has been feeling a little neglected, lately.

Flip I love an apple crumble. The weather is atrocious here right now so I could eat a whole apple crumble to myself today. I always think of it as more of a wintery dessert to be honest but it's cold here all the time anyway so I guess it doesn't matter. x

Gosh, I really need a cast iron skillet. These look delicious!

Those cobblers look beyond delicious! I wish I could just eat them now without the time it'll take to make them :)

I also have a confession - I may be partial to making only the topping of crumbles/cobblers and drowning it in syrup!
It's always been about the topping for me :)

Wow! It looks delicious!
