Ingredients

• 4 cups of fresh blackberries or other fruit
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Lemon juice
• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (I used TJ’s French Vanilla Ice Cream)

Instructions

1. First, gather your ingredients: you’ll need lemon juice, all-purpose flour, sugar, butter, one egg, and blackberries.
2. Lightly grease a baking dish or 8x8 pan and preheat your oven to 375.
3. Rinse your blackberries (about 4 cups) and pour them onto the bottom of your greased up baking dish.
4. Sprinkle with lemon juice, fresh squeezed (about 1 lemon) or from a bottle. The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon but I just estimate and drip it on. Lemon juice helps preserve the color of the berries and adds a little kick of tart!
5. Mix the flour and sugar (1 cup each) with the egg in a separate bowl. It won’t mix all the way because there isn’t much liquid but it should be a coarse consistency.
6. Pour the flour mixture over the berries, covering them evenly.
7. Melt the butter (I did it in the microwave) and drizzle over the flour-covered berries.
8. Step back and take a moment to reflect on how easy that was to assemble, then put it in your 375 degree oven and set the timer for 30 minutes.
9. Check on your cobbler after 30 minutes to see if it is slightly browned and the juices are bubbling. It may need 5 more minutes for a total cooking time of 35 minutes, but overdone cobbler is the worst, so just check it at 30 minutes.
10. Let it stand for 10-15 minutes to cool down slightly. Serve with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar.
