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. 🙂

Blackberry Cobbler

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!

The batter rises and covers up the fruit and the berries oozing out their gorgeous juices intermingling with the chewy moist crust!Oh the simple pleasures of life~

    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.

    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.
