Why You’ll Love This Southern Classic

If you have never had a true Southern deep dish cobbler, you are in for a real treat. It’s a very unique dish and one my family has loved for generations. My Grandmother made this dish, and my Mother has, of course, carried on that tradition. Our whole family loves any blackberry desserts, and this one may be our favorite.

What is a deep dish cobbler?

A true Southern deep dish cobbler is made by baking thin pieces of pastry and layering them throughout the juicy berries. Around our family, we simply called it a deep dish cobbler. By baking the pastry, it is crispy; then you layer it with the blackberries and juice, and it starts to soak it up, and let me tell you… it’s a new level of delicious!

Can I use this method for other fruit cobblers?

Of course, you could use this method to make blueberry, peach, or really any kind of cobbler. The juice is important for this method, so it can soak into the cracker-like texture of the pastry.

Do you serve this warm?

This cobbler needs to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours or even overnight so it can soak up the juices. We make this one a day in advance, then spoon out a serving, heat it up in the microwave, and top it with a big scoop of ice cream! I will say.. this deep dish cobbler is good cold too!
