WHAT IS DIFFERENCE OF A PIE AND A  COBBLER:

The biggest difference between a cobbler and a pie is the placement of the dough. Pies have, at a minimum, a bottom crust with the fruit placed on top, while a cobbler has the fruit on the bottom and a dolloped dough on top instead.Aug 1, 2023

Here are TWO tips for making a delicious blueberry cobbler:

  1. Choose the Right Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen blueberries that are plump, juicy, and flavorful. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the cobbler. This ensures a vibrant and juicy filling.
  2. Balance of Sweetness: Blueberries can vary in sweetness, so taste them before adding sugar to the filling. Adjust the amount of sugar accordingly to balance the sweetness of the fruit. Lemon zest or a splash of lemon juice can also enhance the flavor and add brightness to the filling.

Did I mention how easy this blueberry dessert is to make? Just coat your fruit with a little brown sugar and a tablespoon or so of Orange juice and dump into a nine-inch pie plate.

WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE A COBBLER TOPPING

Our cobbler topping was made in a food processor,   Add the cold butter and mix of dry ingredients into the bowl of the food processor.

Add an egg and vanilla extract and pulse until mixed thoroughly.

What is cobbler topping made of

The method for the topping goes like this: Combine equal parts flour and sugar, and add enough melted butter to make a dough. This makes a very sweet cobbler with a topping somewhere between a sugar cookie and pie crust.

CAN I MAKE  A BLUEBERRY COBBLER AHEAD OF TIME

It is ideal to bake this an hour before you are ready to serve dessert. The ideal is not really all the time.

I made this earlier in the day and then just heated it slightly in a 200 degree oven until warmed.

Don’t forget the ice cream if you have it. There is nothing better than the warm cobbler with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream! Enjoy the flavors of summer.

Although this is good slightly warmed out of the oven, it was just as tasty the next day for breakfast, cold, with a cup of coffee.

    I love a good cobbler a la mode. I haven’t had blueberry yet, but yours looks incredible!

  3. Katherine|Wanderspice on August 1, 2017 at 9:34 pm

    What it is about a baked blueberry that is so good? I love how the juices spread out all over the cobbler. Looks fantastic.

  4. Alyssa on August 1, 2017 at 9:22 pm

    I like that you can also switch out the fruit for whatever is in season!

    We’re about to go blueberry picking so this recipe is perfect! It looks so pretty and impressive, but so much easier than baking a pie 🙂
