Deluxe Blackberry Cobbler

"This is another Southern Living recipe that I really like. The cobbler is just a little bit different from your average cobblers in that not only does it have blackberries in it, it's also flavored with a cream cheese crust, apples, orange juice and lemon juice. Talk about bursting with flavor! This is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top."

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Divide the dough in half and press one half on the bottom and sides of a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish.

  1. Another awesome recipe by the Dreamgoddess. I absolutely love blackberries and didn't change a thing. It was perfect. The fruit was tart, tangy and sweet, with a lovely light crust. We really enjoyed the addition of the vanilla, it takes the dish to a different level. This cobbler was sheer perfection served with vanilla bean ice cream. Into my keeper box this goes. Thanks so much for sharing. :)
     
  2. I made the filling with frozen mulberries and strawberries, and it was delicious, great consistency from the addition of apple (I found only one apple was needed to yield 1 cup). However, I was not much of a fan of the pastry, I found it tough and with little flavour. I did use light cream cheese which might have caused the problem, I would make this again and try to fiddle with the pastry a bit.
     
  3. Exceptional! I made as directed and did not change a thing. I love blackberries and will definitely make this again!
     
  4. I made this yesterday with frozen blackberries that I had picked at the end of summer & put in the freezer with no clues as to how to use them. The flavour was fantastic, I don't think the berries being frozen made any difference. I loved the appley/citrus flavour with the rich cream cheese batter. Thanks Kim!
     
  5. Wonderful cobbler! I made this using blueberries in place of blackberries, and also used Granny Smith apples. One of the better cobblers I have made. Thans Dreamgoddess!
