Easy Blueberry Cobbler Recipe

Wouldn’t you agree that family recipes are precious? It was so great to share the gumdrop cookies recipe last week and I had a reader write in and suggest that I frame the handwritten recipe and I thought that sounded like such a great idea.

I’m honored that cousin Sadie wanted to share this on the blog too. I’ve made this several times and it’s knock-your-socks-off good!

Do you store cobbler in the fridge?

Yes, this should be refrigerated. Because it contains eggs, this will keep well in the refrigerator. Be sure to cover it.

How long does cobbler last?

Technically it should last 4-5 days refrigerated. In our home…. luckily to last three! It just gets eaten and enjoyed that quickly!

What is the difference between pie, a crisp and cobbler?

A cobbler is a deep-dish baked fruit dessert with a biscuit or pie dough topping – blueberries, blackberries, peaches – use your favorite!

A crisp is similar in that it is also baked fruit with a layer topping – toppings for a crips often include oats or nuts and is streusel-like using flour, sugar and butter.

A pie uses two layers of rolled out pie dough.

Can I substitute other fruit?

Yes, you can substitute your favorite fruit! Peach, blackberry, even strawberries or nectarines.

I have to say though if you decide you want to make peach cobbler, swing by and check out this recipe – the bourbon maple glaze? It’s too die for!

Can I substitute frozen blueberries?

What…. you only have frozen fruit? Guess what… that works also! Just be sure to thaw the blueberries first and lightly drain them. Just be sure to use at least four cups of fruit to make this recipe.

Here’s one more thing. This recipe is very versatile! Don’t have blueberries? Use blackberries, or cherries. Fresh or frozen (thawed) peaches will work too!
