Made by boiling blackberries on the stovetop with sugar, water, and lemon juice, then adding strips of pie crust and simmering for a few minutes, this old-fashioned, southern-style dessert gives you the great taste of cobbler filling—but a lot faster and without turning on your oven! Whether you use fresh or frozen berries or homemade or store-bought crust, this will be ready in just a few minutes.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recipe Review</h2>



<p class="">My blackberry dumplings with pie crust recipe was a big success. There was plenty of berry flavor, the sugar balancing out the tartness from the fruit and the bitterness from the seeds. The floral acidity from the lemon juice brought out the flavor, and the bit of salt balancing everything perfectly. The hint of butter in the pie crust was nice in the background, adding a savoriness that balanced the sweetness perfectly.</p>



<p class="">Most—but not all—of the berries broke down, creating a thick, juicy syrup that still had plenty of texture. The pie crust softened without getting mushy, contrasting nicely against the firm seeds in the syrup. Even if you sometimes avoid blackberries because of the seeds, I didn&#8217;t find this overly seedy—the extra water and pie crust were just enough to spread out the seeds and make them less noticeable.</p>



<p class="">Although this was great plain, I also loved it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the residual heat melting it so that the creaminess flowed into the berries and dumplings. I thought it helped to balance out the slight bitterness from the seeds very nicely, so while definitely not required, a bit of Cool Whip, homemade <a href="https://parnellthechef.com/immersion-blender-whipped-cream-recipe/">whipped cream</a>, or vanilla ice cream would be a nice addition to this.</p>



<p class="">If you&#8217;re craving a fruit cobbler but don’t want to wait an hour for it to bake or heat up your kitchen, this stovetop dumplings recipe is a great alternative to my <a href="https://parnellthechef.com/easy-blackberry-cobbler/#google_vignette">old-fashioned blackberry cobbler with pie crust</a>. Even though it’s a perfect summer dessert for the 4th of July or a Sunday dinner, you can make it with frozen berries and enjoy it any time of year.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Blackberry Dumplings with Pie Crust FAQs</h2>



<div class="schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block"><div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777230865695"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Can I use fresh or frozen blackberries?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Yes! You can use either fresh or frozen berries in this recipe (I used frozen for convenience)—the only difference in the recipe is how much time they&#8217;ll need to come to a boil on the stove.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777230868988"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Can I use store-bought pie crust?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Of course! Although I always recommend a homemade pie crust, store-bought is fine.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777230908739"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Do I really need 1 cup of sugar?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Probably. Blackberries—especially not fully ripe ones—aren&#8217;t as sweet as other fruits. Combined with their natural tartness and the bitterness of the seeds, you&#8217;ll need a good amount of sugar. If you think 1 cup is too much, start with 1/2 cup, taste it, and then add more if needed.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777230918416"><strong class="schema-faq-question">How much water should I use?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">I use 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons of water—I apologize for the confusion in the video. If you want the syrup to bit thinner and less sweet, add more water—but I wouldn&#8217;t recommend using more than 1 cup since I think it would dilute the flavor and thin out the syrup.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777230933399"><strong class="schema-faq-question">What does the lemon juice do?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">The acidity in the lemon juice helps bring out the flavor of the berries, brightening the fruitiness so that it&#8217;s strong on your palate. While not absolutely necessary, I wouldn&#8217;t leave it out.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777230943052"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Why are my pie crust dumplings sticking together?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Your dumplings are probably sticking together because you didn&#8217;t push them down into the berries and syrup with a spoon after adding them to the pot. Also, you may not be stirring enough, or there may not be enough liquid in the pot, so refer to the recipe above for more information.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777230958322"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Can I add spices to blackberry dumplings?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Yes! Although I didn&#8217;t add any, you could add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. 1 teaspoon of vanilla would be a classic addition to this recipe as well.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777230968830"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Can I use a different liquid instead of water?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Yes! Culinary Hill&#8217;s <a href="https://www.culinaryhill.com/blackberry-cobbler/">blackberry cobbler</a> recipe calls for orange juice, so you could definitely replace some of the liquid in this stovetop dumpling recipe with orange or even pineapple juice for a more complex flavor.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777230979953"><strong class="schema-faq-question">What can I use instead of pie crust for the dumplings?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Many people use <a href="https://comfortcooks.com/blackberry-dumplings-with-biscuits/">canned biscuits in blackberry dumplings</a> in place of pie crust. Chopped up crescent rolls are another popular option, as is making dumplings with a batter of flour, sugar, and milk and then spooning them into the boiling syrup to cook.</p> </div> <div class="schema-faq-section" id="faq-question-1777237662887"><strong class="schema-faq-question">Will this recipe work with other types of fruit?</strong> <p class="schema-faq-answer">Yes! You can use this same concept with other types of fruit—in fact, my <a href="https://parnellthechef.com/peach-dumplings-on-the-stovetop/">stovetop peach dumplings with pie crust</a> is very similar and is extremely delicious!</p> </div> </div>

<p class="">My 3-Ingredient blackberry dump cake recipe is easy and delicious! With just cake mix, pie filling, and butter&#8211;and one optional ingredient&#8211;this cobber is super quick and hassle-free, so it&#8217;s the perfect dessert for beginner cooks. And since this recipe makes a 9&#215;13 cobbler, it&#8217;s also great for feeding crowds. If you want an easy summer cobbler recipe, especially one with a crunchy crumble top, then keep reading to learn how to make blackberry dump cake with 3 ingredients.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Blackberry Dump Cake Ingredients</h2>



<p class="">My 3-ingredient blackberry dump cake has just a few, simple ingredients:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Cake Mix &#8211;</strong> 1 15.25 oz box. I used white, but you could also use yellow.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Pie Filling &#8211;</strong> 2 21 oz cans. Be sure to use two cans&#8211;just one isn&#8217;t enough.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Butter &#8211;</strong> 2 sticks of unsalted butter. </p>



<p class="">In addition to the 3 base ingredients, I highly recommend adding:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Lemon Juice &#8211;</strong> 1.5 Tablespoons. As in my <a href="https://parnellthechef.com/apple-cobbler-with-cake-mix-and-pie-filling/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">apple dump cake</a> recipe, a bit of lemon juice really brings out the fruit flavor. While not absolutely necessary, I highly recommend adding </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tools:</h3>



<p class="">When you make this recipe, make sure you have:</p>



<p class=""><strong>9&#215;13 pan &#8211;</strong> If you don&#8217;t have a 9&#215;13 pan, you can divide the ingredients in half and use two 8&#215;8 baking dishes.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Spatula or Large Spoon &#8211;</strong> You&#8217;ll need a spatula or large spoon to not only scoop out the canned blackberry pie filling but also to spread it out in the baking dish.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="504" height="378" src="https://i0.wp.com/parnellthechef.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Blackberry-Dump-Cake.jpg?resize=504%2C378&#038;ssl=1" alt="Blackberry Dump Cake" class="wp-image-3332" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/parnellthechef.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Blackberry-Dump-Cake.jpg?w=504&amp;ssl=1 504w, https://i0.wp.com/parnellthechef.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Blackberry-Dump-Cake.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/parnellthechef.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Blackberry-Dump-Cake.jpg?resize=465%2C349&amp;ssl=1 465w" sizes="(max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Blackberry dump cake is the perfect dessert for beginner cooks who need to feed a crowd.</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Make Blackberry Dump Cake with 3 Ingredients</h2>



<p class="">Learning how to make blackberry dump cake with 3 ingredients is easy. You just have to follow a few, easy steps:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Butter the 9&#215;13 Baking Dish</h3>



<p class="">Before starting the recipe, it&#8217;s important to butter the baking dish. I opened one of the sticks of butter and used it to grease the 9&#215;13 dish, but you can use non-stick spray if you want.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Keep the Butter in the Refrigerator</h4>



<p class="">After greasing the dish, remember to put the 2 sticks of butter back into the refrigerator so it&#8217;ll be easier to slice.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Dump in the Pie Filling</h3>



<p class="">Once the greased, it&#8217;s time to start the dump cake recipe by &#8220;dumping&#8221; in the 2 cans of blackberry pie filling. Be sure to use a large spoon or spatula to spread out the pie filling evenly.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Add Lemon Juice (If Using)</h3>



<p class="">Although it&#8217;s not absolutely required for the recipe, I highly recommend sprinkling 1.5 Tablespoons of lemon juice over the blackberry pie filling to really bring out the berry flavor.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sprinkle the Cake Mix over the Pie Filling</h3>



<p class="">Once the blackberry pie filling layer is in the baking dish, &#8220;dump&#8221; in the cake mix by moving the bag back and forth over the baking dish as you sprinkle the raw cake mix on top of the filling.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Smooth Out the Cake Mix</h3>



<p class="">Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out, breaking up large lumps along the way. Although it seems a bit counterintuitive, don&#8217;t press down on the cake mix&#8211;simply spread it out so it rests lightly on top of the pie filling underneath.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Slice the Butter into Pads</h3>



<p class="">The next step is probably the hardest, most time-consuming part of this 3-ingredient blackberry dump cake recipe. Use a sharp knife to cut the butter into thin slices, about 4-6 slices per Tablespoon.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lay the Pads on Top of the Cake Mix</h3>



<p class="">As you cut the butter into thin pads, lay those pads on top of the cake mix, making sure they&#8217;re spaced closely yet evenly across the top. As the butter melts, it will soak down and into the raw cake mix, turning it into a crispy, crunchy crumble topping.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bake</h3>



<p class="">Once the slices of butter are on top of the cake mix, put the 3-ingredient blackberry dump cake into the oven and bake at 350F, uncovered, for 1 hour.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Serve</h3>



<p class="">Let the dump cake cool down for 15-30 minutes so that the pieces don&#8217;t fall apart when you cut and serve them.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3-Ingredient Blackberry Dump Cake FAQ&#8217;s</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How to Serve 3-Ingredient Blackberry Dump Cake</h3>



<p class="">Even though this 3-ingredient blackberry dump cake is absolutely amazing served plain, it&#8217;s also good with:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Ice Cream &#8211;</strong> Vanilla ice cream is always good with fruit pies, cobblers, and dump cakes.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Whipped Cream &#8211;</strong> If you&#8217;ve never made homemade whipped cream before, my <a href="https://parnellthechef.com/immersion-blender-whipped-cream-recipe/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">simple whipped cream recipe</a> using an immersion blender is perfect: it&#8217;s easy, quick, and delicious!</p>



<p class=""><strong>Cool Whip &#8211;</strong> If you don&#8217;t like whipped cream, whipped topping is a good alternative.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Many Servings Does Cake Recipe Make?</h3>



<p class="">Although it all depends on the size of the portions, this recipe makes a 9&#215;13 dump cake, so you should be able to cut it into 12-16 pieces that would be big enough to satisfy most people.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Does Blackberry Dump Cake Need to be Refrigerated?</h3>



<p class="">Yes. Once your blackberry dump cake cools down to room temperature, store it in the refrigerator, uncovered. I don&#8217;t recommend covering it because trapping in the moisture can make the topping soggy.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Long Does Blackberry Dump Cake Keep?</h3>



<p class="">This 3-ingredient blackberry dump cake should keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Although it will likely be good for 4-5, the moisture in your refrigerator will start making the crumble soggy after the 3rd day.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can You Freeze Blackberry Dump Cake?</h3>



<p class="">Yes! To freeze blackberry dump cake, cut it into individual portions, place them on paper plates, wrap them in plastic wrap, and then freeze the pieces. To serve, take them out of the freezer, take off the plastic wrap, and either defrost in the refrigerator or in the microwave.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can You Use Yellow Cake Mix?</h3>



<p class="">Yes! Both white and yellow cake mix are fairly neutral, so you could use either in this recipe.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can I Pour Melted Butter Over the Top?</h3>



<p class="">No. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t recommend pouring melted butter on top of the cake mix. If you do, it will be hard to make sure it&#8217;s poured over evenly, resulting in dry, tasteless patches.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Blackberry Dump Cake Recipe Variations</h2>



<p class="">Some blackberry dump cake recipe variations you might want to try include:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Fresh or Frozen Blackberries &#8211;</strong> Using fresh or frozen berries instead of pie filling would likely give this dump cake even more fruit flavor.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Lemon Cake Mix &#8211;</strong> Lemon juice helps to bring out the berry flavor, so I&#8217;m curious how lemon dump cake would affect this recipe.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Strawberry Cake Mix &#8211;</strong> A strawberry cake mix top and blackberry filling would make for an interesting mixed berry dessert. If you try this, let me know!</p>

<p class="">My blackberry cobbler with pie crust is easy and delicious. My version of this old-fashioned Southern dessert calls for a top and bottom crust, along with one in the filling, the combination of crispy and soft textures making cobbler very unique. If you want to learn how to make traditional double or triple-crust blackberry cobbler with pie crust, keep reading!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Make Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust?</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">An Old-Fashioned Southern Dessert</h3>



<p class="">Blackberries grow wild in the southern United States. Since they’re one of summer’s most plentiful fruits, it should be no surprise that blackberry cobbler is one of the most traditional southern desserts.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="">Although there are many ways to make blackberry cobbler, old-fashioned recipes call for using pie crust. Honestly, there’s nothing like the combination of crispy pie crust and juicy berry filling, especially when the filling is perfectly jellied and coats pieces of crust.</p>



<p class="">After seeing recipes such as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDxnF5gmc1Q&amp;ab_channel=MsBrendaDee">Ms. Brenda Dee</a>&#8216;s video, Ms. Sandra of<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8_XgBleDM8&amp;ab_channel=soulfoodqueen.net"> soulfodoqueet.net</a>’s version, Chris from<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPQtMzfesEg&amp;ab_channel=chriscook4u2"> ChrisCook4u2</a>’s take, and Ms. Tammy from<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cktXTI_FAZU&amp;ab_channel=CollardValleyCooks"> Collard Valley Cooks</a>’s recipe, I wanted to make my own. All of the recipes call for at least a top crust and dumplings, small pieces of pie dough inside of the filling, so I knew I wanted to use pie crust dumplings in my recipe in some form.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">My Version: Triple-Crust Blackberry Cobbler</h3>



<p class="">Although you can add small pieces of crust to the filling, I decided to give my cobbler a full top and bottom crust, along with a pie crust lattice inside the filling. With a crust inside the filling, this triple-crust blackberry cobbler would have a delicious combination of both crispy and soft crust in every bite.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Using Frozen Blackberries</h4>



<p class="">I also decided to use frozen berries because high-quality fresh blackberries aren’t always available here in Chicago. As you can see, this recipe was shaping up to be not only delicious but also easy–a rare combination.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is The Best Pie Crust for Cobbler?</h2>



<p class="">Whenever I make a dessert with crust, such as my peach cobbler with canned peaches and pie crust, I think the best pie crust is my oil and butter recipe because I think it’s the best of both worlds: enough butter to give it flavor, but not enough to overpower the filling.</p>



<p class="">However, the “best pie crust” is hotly debated. Some people like all-butter crusts, others oil-based, while some even prefer crust with shortening. Honestly, I think you can use whatever type of pie crust you want to make this blackberry cobbler–I know it’ll turn out great!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can I Use a Storebought Crust?</h3>



<p class="">Yes! Personally, I always make my own pie crust because, as with many things, I think homemade is best. However, if you want to use a storebought crust, I think your blackberry cobbler will still turn out delicious.</p>



<p class="">And best of all, you can follow the recipe exactly if you use a storebought crust such as Pillsbury or another brand. That’s what’s nice about this blackberry cobbler–it’s super versatile.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust Ingredients</h2>



<p class="">My blackberry cobbler with pie crust recipe is easy because it has just a few ingredients:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Blackberries &#8211; </strong>24 oz. Depending on where you look, this is anywhere from 3-5 cups. I used frozen blackberries, but if you can buy fresh blackberries sold by the ounce, buy 24 ounces.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Sugar &#8211;</strong> 1.5 cups white sugar.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Vanilla &#8211;</strong> 1 teaspoon–but now I recommend using 1.5 Tablespoon of lemon juice instead</p>



<p class=""><strong>Salt &#8211;</strong> ⅛ teaspoon</p>



<p class=""><strong>Water &#8211;</strong> ½ cup</p>



<p class=""><strong>Pie Crust &#8211;</strong> 2, 9-inch pie crusts, homemade or storebought</p>



<p class=""><strong>*Extra Sugar &#8211;</strong> 2 Tablespoons of extra sugar to sprinkle on top</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">For the Cornstarch Slurry:</h3>



<p class=""><strong>Cornstarch &#8211;</strong> 4 Tablespoons (¼ cup).</p>



<p class=""><strong>Water &#8211;</strong> ½ cup water</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tools:</h3>



<p class=""><strong>8&#215;8 Casserole Dish &#8211;</strong> I usually make square cobblers, but you could use a 9-inch pie plate, too.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Pot &#8211;</strong> You’ll need a pot to cook the blackberry cobbler filling on the stove.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Wooden Spoon &#8211;</strong> To stir the filling as it cooks.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Sharp Knife </strong>&#8211; Use a sharp knife to cut the pie crust to fit the mold and to make strips.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can I Make This a Double-Crust Blackberry Cobbler?</h3>



<p class="">Yes! If the idea of adding small dumplings or a crust lattice inside the cobbler sounds like a bit too much of a good thing to you, you can definitely leave it out. If you follow the rest of the recipe exactly, you’ll have a delicious double-crust blackberry cobbler.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can I Make This Cobbler with Fresh Berries?</h3>



<p class="">Yes! You can definitely make this blackberry cobbler with pie crust using fresh berries instead of frozen. And best of all, you don’t have to modify the recipe: the only difference is that the berries might come to a boil in 2-3 minutes instead of 5. Other than that, the recipe stays the same.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Make Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust</h2>



<p class="">Learning how to make my blackberry cobbler with pie crust recipe is easy. Just follow a few steps:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Prep the Berries (If Using Fresh)</h3>



<p class="">Prep the berries before starting the recipe. If you’re using frozen berries, you don’t <em>technically</em> have to do anything–you can start cooking them from frozen. If you’re using fresh berries, wash and sort them, then set aside.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Prep the Pie Crust</h3>



<p class="">The first real step in this easy blackberry cobbler recipe is prepping the pie crust. Fit one of the 9-inch pie crusts into the bottom of an 8&#215;8 casserole dish for the bottom crust, then cut the second pie crust to fit the top. Refer to the video (from about 2:30-4:30) for specific directions.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Parbake the Bottom Pie Crust</h3>



<p class="">Once the bottom crust is in the dish, poke the crust with a fork about 6-7 times and then bake the crust–empty–at 350F for 5 minutes. Prebaking the crust will help ensure the filling doesn’t make it soggy, and poking holes before baking will make it less likely for air bubbles to form. When the bottom crust is done parbaking, set it off to the side and move on to the next step.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Make the Blackberry Filling on the Stove</h3>



<p class="">With the parbaked bottom crust off to the side, it’s now time to make the blackberry cobbler filling. Add the blackberries, sugar, ½ cup water, and salt to a large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly so the berries don’t burn.</p>



<p class="">As stated above, there’s no need to thaw the berries if using frozen: they’ll thaw as they cook. The mixture will take longer to come to a boil if starting with frozen berries, but that’s the only difference.</p>



<p class="">Once the blackberries come to a boil, continue cooking them on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Add the Cornstarch Slurry</h4>



<p class="">After boiling the berries for 10 minutes, it’s time to add the cornstarch slurry. Add the 4 Tablespoons of cornstarch to the other ½ cup of water, mix thoroughly, then add the slurry to the berries.</p>



<p class="">In the video I turned off the heat before adding the slurry, but you don’t have to–you can add the slurry while the heat is still on. Stir the filling until it starts to thicken–30 seconds max. Once the cornstarch slurry thickens the filling, turn off the heat and set the filling aside.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Add the Vanilla Extract</h3>



<p class="">Now that the heat is turned off, add the vanilla extract. It’s best to add the vanilla after turning off the heat so you don’t burn off the vanilla flavor.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cut the Excess Pie Crust into Strips</h3>



<p class="">Although I added small pieces of pie crust to the filling in my <a href="https://parnellthechef.com/blackberry-cobbler-with-dumplings/">blackberry cobbler with dumplings</a> recipe, this time I did something different. Since I wanted the pieces of soft, dumpling-like crust evenly distributed throughout the cobbler, I decided to turn this recipe into a triple-crust cobbler by putting a pie crust lattice inside the cobbler.</p>



<p class="">So, with the filling off to the side, I took the excess crust that I cut off from the bottom and top crusts and used it to make strips. I made the strips about 1 inch wide, roughly.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pour ½ of the Filling Into the Dish</h3>



<p class="">With the blackberry filling off to the side and strips of pie crust cut for the lattice, start assembling the cobbler by pouring in ½ of the filling.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lay in the Strips of Crust for the Lattice</h3>



<p class="">In order to have plenty of soft, dumpling-like crust inside of the cobbler, lay strips of pie crust on top of the filling to form a lattice. Don’t worry about weaving them together: just lay strips one way, then lay strips the other way, spacing them about the width of one strip apart. Refer to the video (about 13:15-14:15) if you need a visual.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Can I Use a Solid Crust in the Middle Instead of a Lattice?</h4>



<p class="">Yes, but I wouldn’t recommend it. You would need another pie crust (3 total) which would have to be cut to fit the 8&#215;8 casserole dish. Along with what was cut off the other 2 crusts, there’d be a lot of wasted crust.</p>



<p class="">Also, in my opinion, I think a solid middle crust would be “too much of a good thing.” That’s why I recommend a solid bottom, solid top, and lattice middle for this triple-crust blackberry cobbler.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Add the Rest of the Filling</h3>



<p class="">Once the strips for the lattice are laid on top of the first half of the filling, pour over the rest of the blackberry filling.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Put on the Top Pie Crust</h3>



<p class="">Now that all of the filling is poured into the dish, it’s time to put on the top crust. If you have already cut the second crust to fit the top of the cobbler, this step should be a breeze.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cut Slits in the Top Crust</h3>



<p class="">It’s important to cut slits in the top crust before putting the cobbler in the oven. As the cobbler bakes in the oven, the filling will start to heat up and produce steam; so, be sure to give the steam a way to escape. If not, you’ll end up with a domed crust that won’t look very appealing.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sprinkle on Extra Sugar</h3>



<p class="">I highly recommend sprinkling 2 Tablespoons of white sugar on top of the cobbler before putting it in the oven. The extra bit of sweetness and crunch is a niche touch.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bake</h3>



<p class="">Bake the cobbler at 350F, uncovered, for 50 minutes. As always, I recommend placing the cobbler on a pizza pan or baking sheet in case it boils over: you don’t want to have to clean up a mess on the bottom of your oven.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cool</h3>



<p class="">I recommend cooling the cobbler for at least 30 minutes before cutting it in so that the juices can thicken up: if you cut it too soon, the filling will be very runny.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Serve</h3>



<p class="">Serve your blackberry cobbler!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Easy Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust Recipe FAQ’s</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Many Servings Does this Recipe Make?</h3>



<p class="">Although it depends on how big the portions are, this easy blackberry cobbler with pie crust recipe makes 9 “generous yet sensible” servings. Cut the 8&#215;8 cobbler into equal portions by making 2 end-end cuts from top to bottom and 2 more cuts from left to right.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How to Serve Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust</h3>



<p class="">Although this cobbler is great plain, consider serving it with:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Ice Cream &#8211;</strong> Vanilla ice cream and fruit cobbler is a classic for a reason–it’s amazing!</p>



<p class=""><strong>Whipped Cream &#8211;</strong> If you need a recipe, my <a href="https://parnellthechef.com/immersion-blender-whipped-cream-recipe/">easy whipped cream recipe</a> is delicious.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Cool Whip &#8211;</strong> Some people prefer whipped topping–if so, put some on this dessert.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Evaporated Milk &#8211;</strong> A bit of dairy drizzle over a slice can tone down the bitterness from the seeds.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How to Store Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust</h3>



<p class="">Store blackberry cobbler with pie crust in the refrigerator, uncovered. I recommend uncovered so that you don’t trap in the moisture and make the crust soggy.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Long Does Blackberry Cobbler Last In the Fridge??</h3>



<p class="">If kept in the refrigerator, uncovered, blackberry cobbler should be good for 2-3 days. After the third day, the moisture in the filling will start making the pie crust soggy.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can You Freeze Blackberry Cobbler?</h3>



<p class="">Yes, but I wouldn’t. If you want to freeze blackberry cobbler with pie crust, cut it into individual portions, wrap the servings in plastic wrap, then freeze: the cobbler should keep for 2-3 months.</p>



<p class="">However, although it’s possible to freeze this cobbler, I wouldn’t recommend it since freezing and then thawing baked pie crust tends to make it soggy. If you want to freeze the cobbler, I recommend freezing it unbaked in a disposable aluminum pan so you can take it right from the freezer to the oven.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can You Make Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust Ahead of Time?</h3>



<p class="">Yes! You can definitely make this cobbler the night or day before. However, I wouldn’t make it much more than 24 hours in advance since after about 72 hours, the juicy filling will start making the crust soggy.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Long To Cook Blackberries for Cobbler Filling?</h3>



<p class="">After bringing the blackberries (fresh or frozen) to a boil, continue cooking the berries, sugar,&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Do I Have to Cook the Filling on the Stove?</h3>



<p class="">Yes. Although it’s probably possible to make this blackberry cobbler with pie crust without cooking the filling on the stove, I wouldn’t recommend it. As I found in my blackberry pie with frozen blackberries recipes,</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Long Do You Cook a Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust?</h3>



<p class="">In addition to cooking the filling for 10 minutes on medium heat, the cobbler bakes at 350F, uncovered, for 50 minutes. It may be done in 45 minutes, so I would check it then.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Long To Let Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust Cool?</h3>



<p class="">In the video, I let my old-fashioned blackberry cobbler with pie crust cool for 30 minutes before serving so that the juices in the filling could thicken up again. If you want to serve it hot from the oven, you can–but be aware that it will be soup and runny inside.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can I Use Flour to Thicken the Filling?</h3>



<p class="">Yes! If you want to substitute flour for cornstarch, use ½ cup of flour (flour is a weaker thickener than cornstarch, so you need more). However, I wouldn’t recommend using flour since tends to make liquids cloudy and it affects the flavor much more than cornstarch.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is My Blackberry Cobbler Filling Runny?</h3>



<p class="">If your southern blackberry cobbler with pie crust’s filling is runny, here are a few reasons why:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Not Enough Thickener &#8211;</strong> Did you use enough cornstarch (or flour if substituting)?</p>



<p class=""><strong>Cornstarch Was Overcooked &#8211; </strong>Overcooking cornstarch can cause it to lose its thickening power. After adding the slurry to the berries, did you continue cooking the filling for an extended period of time?</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can You Use Vanilla Flavoring In Blackberry Cobbler?</h3>



<p class="">Yes! I used 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in this blackberry cobbler with pie crust recipe.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Can You Make this Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust in a Pie Plate?</h3>



<p class="">Yes! Although I usually make circular pies and square cobblers, you can definitely use a 9-inch pie plate to make this recipe if that’s all you have.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tips for Working with Pie Crust</h3>



<p class="">If you’re new to making cobblers with pie crust, here are a few tips to make it a bit easier:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Use Wax/Parchment Paper &#8211;</strong> If rolling out a homemade crust, roll it out between wax or parchment paper: that makes transferring it from the counter to the cobbler a lot easier.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Cut with a Sharp Knife &#8211;</strong> A sharp knife makes cutting the crust to fit the 8&#215;8 casserole or into strips a lot easier.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Keep it Cold &#8211;</strong> Cold crust is a lot easier to work with, so keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How to Keep the Bottom Crust from Getting Soggy</h3>



<p class="">If you’re worried about the bottom of your cobbler being soggy, here are a few tips:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Parbake the Bottom &#8211;</strong> As explained above, partially-baking the bottom crust for 5 minutes helps to seal it so it doesn’t get soggy from the juicy filling.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Bake on a Sheet &#8211;</strong> According to an AmericasTestKitchen article on <a href="https://www.americastestkitchen.com/cooksillustrated/features/8413-the-simplest-tip-to-baking-flaky-not-soggy-fruit-filled-pies">tips for preventing soggy pies</a>, baking a pie on a preheated cookie sheet helps keep the bottom from getting soggy. While I’ve never baked a cobbler on a preheated sheet, I think baking the cobbler on a pizza pan or cookie sheet, even if not preheated, would probably help, too.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Chef’s Review</h2>



<p class="">I really liked how my old-fashioned blackberry cobbler with pie crust recipe turned out. The sweet and tart filling was delicious, especially with the touch of vanilla extract. The filling was thickened yet still juicy, exactly what you’d expect from a southern cobbler.</p>



<p class="">I liked the triple pie crust as well: the bottom and top crusts were crispy while the inside lattice was soft, giving this dessert a great combination in textures. Together with the juicy filling, this cobbler is perfect for people who like texture.</p>



<p class="">Although this recipe does require a bit of time and effort, it’s well worth it. If you’re looking for the perfect blackberry cobbler with pie crust recipe with step-by-step directions, this is for you. My version is full of old-fashioned color, flavor, and texture, so I know you’ll love it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Possible Changes to the Recipe</h2>



<p class="">Although I thought my easy blackberry cobbler with pie crust recipe turned out great, possible changes include:</p>



<p class=""><strong>Lemon Juice &#8211;</strong> When I remade this recipe the following year, I replaced the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract with 1.5 Tablespoons of freshly-squeezed lemon juice. Some people may disagree, but I think that the lemon juice was superior.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Lattice Top &#8211; </strong>Instead of a solid top, adding a lattice would give the cobbler an even more old-fashioned, country look.</p>



<p class=""><strong>Brown Sugar &#8211;</strong> Replacing some of the white sugar in the filling with light brown sugar, as well as using 1 Tablespoon of white and 1 Tablespoon of light brown sugar for the sprinkle on the top, would be a good way to add more flavor.</p>
