Cast Iron Cobbler

Jump to Recipe             

Introducing our Cast Iron Cobbler, a comforting and irresistible dessert that celebrates the vibrant flavors of fresh berries and the charm of a classic cobbler. 

Juicy berries—blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries—bursting with natural sweetness and antioxidants are at the heart of this cobbler recipe. Their vibrant colors and succulent textures create a refreshing and indulgent recipe. 

Add sugar and a hint of cinnamon to enhance the berries' natural sweetness, creating a warm and aromatic base that complements the fruit's tartness. A splash of lemon juice adds a bright and tangy note, balancing the flavors and adding depth to the filling. 

Now, it’s time to whip up the topping. Combine brown sugar, flour, oats, chopped walnuts and chilled unsalted butter to create a crumbly and golden topping that's both crunchy and buttery. As it bakes in the cast iron skillet, it forms a deliciously crisp crust that contrasts beautifully with the juicy fruit filling. 

Finally, sprinkle some chopped fresh thyme over the cobbler. Its subtle flavor adds a delightful twist to the dessert, elevating it to new heights. 

These quality ingredients combine to create a Cast Iron Cobbler recipe that's easy to make and irresistibly delicious. It's the perfect dessert for cozy gatherings, lazy Sunday afternoons or any time you're craving a sweet treat.
