Fruit Cobbler Recipe

I love mixed fruit cobbler, as I’m sure you probably do too. It’s the perfect dessert for almost any occasion.

With the summer months it’s a great way to use fresh berries off of the vine and in the winter months using a bag of frozen mixed berries to create this easy fruit cobbler can be a great way to give a seasonal feel or color to your holiday table.

Cobblers are great for get-togethers and barbecues just like they are for a quiet Sunday night at home with the family.

Making a large baking dish full of them makes them seem so casual and inviting, but placing them in small white ramekins like I did can really make them feel like a classy dessert.

Of course, adding a dollop of homemade vanilla ice cream to the top is expected and welcome in any setting, season, or occasion.

Making this fruit cobbler is a lot less demanding or difficult compared to a few other cobbler recipes out there. In fact, this one asks that you not stir the butter, batter, or put in that extra work.

Asking you not to do work in order to get a tasty dessert? Um, yes, please! Is there anyone out there against minimal work?

You’re going to love this easy fruit cobbler because it really is just that! You’ll not only get a delicious cobbler with a beautiful crispy crust, but this batter recipe is one that you can use for just about any fruit.

Fresh, frozen, blueberries, apples, pears, or mixed. They all taste amazing with this magical crust.

I call the crust magical because it really does look like it. During the baking process the fruit will sink down below the batter while it rises to the top and covers everything.

So even if the recipe seems a bit strange and out of order, trust it and watch the magic unfold before your eyes. 

Fruit Cobbler Recipe Ingredients

  • Mixed berries
  • Water
  • Sugar
  • Butter
  • Flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Milk

How to make Mixed Fruit Cobbler

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
  2. Place the butter in the baking dish you’ll be using and then put it in the oven until the butter has melted. You can use any standard 3-quart baking dish, usually, these dishes measure about 9×13 inches but a little variation is fine.
  3. Combine the fruit with 1 cup sugar and water in a saucepan on the stove. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes until it’s thickened and syrupy.
  4. Mix in the remaining sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk.
  5. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Make sure that the butter is spread evenly on the bottom of the dish.
  6. Pour in the batter, DO NOT MIX!
  7. Spoon the fruit mixture evenly over the top of the batter, DO NOT MIX.
  8. Bake 30-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Tips for the Best Fruit Cobbler

  • Mix the batter until it is just combined, don’t overmix it.
  • Use frozen or fresh berries that are ripe or slightly overripe.
  • Be sure to follow the steps for simmering the filling. This will create the right consistency in the fruit cobbler.

Best ways to serve this Mixed Berry Cobbler Recipe

  • Vanilla ice cream is a great addition to the mixed berry cobbler.
  • Whipped cream is another delicious option.
  • As is dusting it with powdered sugar.

Storing Mixed Berry Cobbler

Mixed berry cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Fruit Cobbler Variations

You can replace the mixed berries with many different kinds of fruit. Some good options are:

  • Any other berry combinations
  • Any individual berry
  • Peaches
  • Cherries
  • Ripe pears

FAQ for Mixed Berry Cobbler Recipe with Frozen Berries

Do you thaw frozen fruit for cobbler?

Since the fruit is cooked briefly on the stove top before adding it to the cobbler, it doesn’t matter if the fruit is frozen or thawed.

How do you keep berry cobbler from being runny?

Simmering the fruit down with the sugar will keep the berry cobbler from being runny. Allowing it to cool completely will also let it set up and keep the berry cobbler from being runny.

What fruits are used in cobblers?

Cobbler is typically made with berries, peaches, and cherries.

Is cobbler the same as crumble?

No, a cobbler is not the same as a crumble. A fruit crumble is made from a fruit filling topped with a crumble topping. A traditional crumble topping is made with sugar, flour, and oats.

    This looks like it might just be a good recipe for mixed fruit cobbler. There’s just one slight problem. You didn’t give me any idea how much water to use! I love to cook, and I do a little baking, but I’m an amateur, and I like to improvise. Since I’m health conscious I try to substitute what I believe are healthier alternatives to sugar. I’ve been successful using Agave nectar in pies. Since it’s a liquid I have to calculate how much to reduce the other liquids by so I can get similar results to the original. So you see, it might not seem like the amount of water is necessary for an expert who does things the conventional, but you never know what other folks need to know.

      It was just a mistake on my part, not a personal attack on your intelligence. The recipe card has been updated, thanks for pointing it out.
