Here's what we do to make a cobbler: Add 1 quart of blackberries, 1 cup of sugar, & just a little water - I don't actually cover the berries - to a pan. Simmer this for awhile on top of the stove. Make a simple biscuit like pie crust - I actually used a biscuit mix this time. Spray a casserole dish with oil. Roll your dough mixture out big enough to cover the bottom of your casserole dish & still fold over to make a top for your cobbler. Transfer your pie crust to the casserole dish (this is definately the hardest part!) - cover the bottom & let the remainder drape over the sides of the dish. It if breaks off, like mine did, it's not a big deal, just pick up the pieces & lay them back on top. Your not looking for perfection here - besides, sometimes it's those imperfect cobblers that bake up to look the prettiest! After you've got you pie crust situated - pour the blackberries & sugar mixture into the casserole dish & then fold over the top of the crust. Sprinkle with a little sugar & bake until the crust is golden brown.
Our girls have actually won several blackberry cobbler titles at our local fair through the years & this is the simple process that they've always used. Sometime Dara adds a little butter to the top when she makes hers, but not always. The pics above are of cobbler they've made for the fairs.
