We like to eat this warm with vanilla ice cream. Hope you enjoy it!

Well its been 17 days since my son has swallowed his quarter and not out yet. We...
Yummy! Could this be done in a non-cast iron skillet? I wish I had one but don’t so would have to improvise :-)
Also, do you think if I made this with blueberries and blackberries…it would work?
Oh, it looks so good and I am looking for a way to use up my blueberries and blackberries:-)
Blessings,

As long as the skillet is oven safe it will work.
I’m sure blueberries will work in there too. I’ve actually thought about substituting them, or doing a peach version as well with just a couple spice modifications.
I make blueberry pie every year with our harvest. If that sounds good to you, the link is Here.
This looks yummy.. .I think you can wrap a skillet’s handle in aluminum foil and use it in the oven.

I don’t think I’ve ever baked with blackberries. That looks good.
This looks so delicious and so simple! I love the pictures with it too. Thanks for sharing.
That looks good. I don’t know that I’ve ever had Blackberry Cobbler.
Oh my!! I love blackberries!
How awesome! It makes my tummy rumble… It’s so funny that you’ve been to the only 2 places that I have been on my list with weird names - Intercourse and Blue Ball… My husband’s family is from the Lancaster area, so we travel through a lot of these towns. Thanks for a great recipe.
looks good!
yum!! That looks scrumptious!!
Great photos.! My mouth is watering, and I’m imagining a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream slowly melting into the cobbler. Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
That looks so yummy!
I love things that can be made in one pan! Less mess to clean up! Looks delicious!
Oh man that looks good!!
You are the queen of making things I don’t think I would like look delicious! BUT, if I could substitute with blueberries, now we’re talking yummy!
I haven’t made blackberry cobbler in a LONG time. This looks so good, it’s really making me wish I still had blackberries growing in my back yard! Great photos!
That sounds yummy, yummy! Thanks for submitting it to The Make it From Scratch Carnival.

I would increase the sugar/flour/butter mixture, since I ate half of it in the process of making this (washed down with a nice Shiraz). Picked the blackberries tonight on an island in the Columbia River, reached via kayak with my dog. Few people visit this area so the thorny vines were loaded with plenty of berries for easy picking.
Put the cast iron skillet on a cookie sheet in the oven, to catch spillovers.
25 minutes in oven is about right. It’s ready! Now for the ice cream…..
