Delicious!! This quick and easy dessert is kind of like a cobbler, and kind of like a crisp. I added 1 TBS. corn starch to the blackberry/sugar mixture to thicken as suggested by a previous reviewer. Also, I cut the topping ingredients down to a 1/4 recipe: (3/4 c. brown sugar, 6 TBS. chopped walnuts, 1/2 c. flour, 3 TBS. melted butter), and I had plenty of topping. My blackberry loving husband loved this dessert. Thank you for sharing this quick, easy, and delicious recipe.

Worst recipe ever. This is horrible. Never make this. I have tried this. I cooked this for at least 1 hour, and it was still doughy. The edges were overcooked and the middle never cooked. It tasted really bad too.

Wonderful! Especially for those with a SWEET tooth. I'm a little on the less sweet side for health reasons so the second time I made it I cut down on the sugars by half, would recommend by a third for most people. Butter was too much for me, but I think those who are comfortable with good old recipes will enjoy this one. For a variation after those two I used fresh blueberries and canned peaches for the filling, substituted oats for the nuts on the topping. These recipes are so flexible its hard to mess up when you have the initial one to work from. Ideas for the next would be some cinnamon and ginger in the mix.

Loved this, so easy. I have an over abundance of blackberries in my garden and wanted to use them up. This looked so good and it IS. Follow the directions and you can't go wrong, love the crunch of the topping, I did use chopped pecans instead of walnuts as that's what I had. Such wonderful berry goodness. I served with a topping of recipe#38523 and home made whipped cream. Oh so good and a hit with the entire family. Glad I found this recipe and will be using it often.

This cobbler is very sweet. As soon as we scraped off the topping it was better. I only used half of the topping too. It also took way longer to bake than the recipe said. I probably will not make it again.

My family and freinds really liked this cobbler. I personally found it too sweet but otherwise wonderful.(my kids do not think it is too sweet) Next time I make it I plan to reduce the amount of sugar in the dough. Then I am sure it will be outstanding!! I too thicken the berries...I used 1Tbl. flour. I also substituted pecans for the walnuts. I made three batches of cobbler; using one batch of topping. It was the perfect amount to go around.
