My dad gave me a bowlful of blackberries before we went on our trip and I put them in the freezer because I did not have time to do anything with them before we left. But in Washington and Oregon blackberries just grow wild everywhere and I kept seeing restaurants that had blackberry cobbler on their dessert menu. So I have had blackberry cobbler on the mind and have been craving this dessert ever since we got home.. I finally got the blackberries out and I had a couple of peaches that I needed to use up, and these two fruits together make the perfect combination for a cobbler!
I really love this cobbler because the topping has pecans in it so it has a nice crunchy, nutty flavor!
Of course you need a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream to top it off!
- 1 cup blackberries-fresh or frozen
- 1 1/2 cups peeled sliced peaches
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 5 tablespoons chopped pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Combine blackberries and peaches in a bowl. Add flour and sugar and toss until coated. Divide the fruit mixture between 4 ramekins or other small baking dishes.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon for topping. Add butter and cut into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Divide topping between ramekins.
- Place ramekins on foil lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until topping is browned and crisp. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
- These are best served warm with ice cream!
