Apple Barn Blackberry Cobbler Bread Recipe

Fresh fruit flavors are the star in this decadent but oh so easy peach and blackberry cobbler recipe that calls for a spoonful straight from the pan.

You can have your cake, you can keep your candies. Because my #1 choice for dessert will always fall in the crumble or cobbler category, and when fall rolls around there’s not much I crave more than my grandma’s peach and blackberry cobbler. Unless it’s my go to crumble,  that is.

While I’m attributing this decadent but oh-so-easy dessert to the archives of my dear old Grandma Mary Jane, the recipe card my mom took a photo of with her iPad and sent to me when I couldn’t remember the exact proportions (oh my, what would Grandma have thought of that!) is actually named Essie’s Peach and Blackberry Cobbler.

With grandma no longer here, and my mom out of the country as I write this post, I’m guessing Essie is a dearly departed aunt/cousin/really good baker.

Doesn’t the name Essie conjure up images of the sweetest, white haired, comfortable-shoe-wearing great aunt pulling wonderful smelling delights from the oven? Can one of my smartie pants aunts please weigh in here please?

Since I can’t be sure, and since Grandma always made this anyway, the kudos are going to go to her. And to my mom. Because she’s a grandma now, and she makes it too, thereby I declare it shall now be called Grandma’s Peach Cobbler.

While my grandma always made this with Brigham City peaches picked just a half hour from home (or when I was really little straight from the backyard orchard my grandpa obsessed over every harvest), I couldn’t leave it straight up simple so I added to the bevy of baking with the addition of blackberries as big as my thumb.

While this easy blackberry cobbler recipe is always good as a dessert later in the day, my favorite way to eat it is straight up from the oven, just cool enough not to turn the top of my mouth into tar paper but still piping warm for maximum flavor melds.

Mind you, I’m not talking about dessert here either. Let’s talk about eating this for breakfast as any good cobbler or crumble should be assigned to.

Grandma knew what she was doing when she made this homemade peach cobbler with blackberries. She kept the ingredients list simple to allow the fresh fruit to really shine.

This is such an easy blackberry cobbler recipe. To make the cobbler batter, simply cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then add in the milk and dry ingredients a little at a time, alternating between the two.

Transfer the batter to a buttered 8×8-inch baking dish and smooth it with the back of a spatula. Lay the sliced peaches and blackberries over the batter and squeeze fresh orange juice over top. Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon sugar before popping it into the oven.

Bake the peach blackberry cobbler until it’s golden on top (the batter will rise up through the fruit and create a gorgeous topping). You can serve it immediately or refrigerate the cobbler until you’re ready to serve it up.

You can substitute any of the fruit you’d care to change up. Peaches just seem like such a natural choice here. And raspberries would be delicious too.

Do you have self-rising flour in the pantry? Go ahead and use that instead of regular and omit the baking powder for one less step to go.

The recipe calls for a squeeze of orange juice, but a pour of peach or mango nectar might be a really fun flavor addition.

I don’t think I need to tell you that God created cobbler to provide something delicious to eat with vanilla ice cream. Whichever God you choose to believe in, it’s true. I read it on the internet.
