Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, mix blackberries with 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and optional lemon juice. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth.
Pour melted butter into the prepared baking dish.
Pour batter over the butter without stirring.
Spoon blackberry mixture evenly over the batter. Do not mix.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and berries are bubbling.
Let cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

You can substitute blueberries, raspberries, or peaches for blackberries. For a dairy-free cobbler, use plant-based butter and milk. Prepare the cobbler ahead and reheat in the oven before serving; leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. If the filling is runny, add more cornstarch next time or bake longer. For a crispier top, sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the batter before baking.
