Our family’s favorite summer dessert, this berry cobbler is given a golden sheen by a simple sugar syrup. Excellent with simply peaches or a combination of the two. Favorable with vanilla ice cream!

| Yield: | 1 9×13-inch baking dish |
Ingredients
- 2 quarts blackberries
- 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 cups biscuit baking mix
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Stir the berries, tapioca, and 1/2 cup of sugar together in a bowl until evenly blended. Spoon evenly into the prepared baking dish. Stir together the baking mix and milk in a separate bowl. Drop dough over the cobbler by the spoonful.
- Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring the water and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes; set aside. Once the cobbler has baked 15 minutes, remove from the oven, and drizzle evenly with the vanilla syrup. Return to the oven, and continue baking until the syrup has evaporated from the cobbler topping, about 5 minutes more.

Pretty much the same recipe my mom used when we would pick fresh blackberries in CA, growing up. My only trick for the person who said it was dry…Mix the berries with the sugar…macerate a bit and let sit overnight before adding the tapioca. Our berries were always sun-warm and hours old so refrigerated berries take a bit longer to soften and give up their juice. Try this you will love it!
This was just OK. Really needed more moisture. I added a little more water to the berries. Probably needed more water or less tapioca.
Best blackberry cobbler I ever made!
I used fresh peaches I had just canned about a week earlier, actually I used a mixture of frozen and canned. But I also used Tapioca flour and it worked well. It was fantastic. My entire family loved it. I did have to eyeball it for the amount of peaches as this was for blackberries- but my judgement worked out and it was fine. I made 1/2 of a 9 1/2 x 11 pan and did 4 servings. Just so good. The vanilla sugar topping definitely added something to this and I put it over everything not just the bisquick mixture.
awesome
Quick and yummy dessert. I substituted stevia for sugar, using half as much as called for. Add 1/4 cup water +/- since stevia doesn’t draw out the berry juice like sugar does. Will definitely make again.
Super easy to make!! Even using frozen berries!! Great recipe I will try with a variety of berries!
If you have someone in your life who’s not a dessert-eater (why do such people exist?), this should be your go-to recipe. Find out what kind of fruit they like — I’ve made this with everything from mixed berries to peaches to apples — buy (or make) some good vanilla ice cream, and get out of the way. The syrup that’s formed by the cooked fruit & thickened with the tapioca (don’t worry – if you don’t tell them there’s tapioca in it they’ll never know), mixed with melting vanilla ice cream is to die for.
this is great, family favorite
Delicious! That’s all that needs to be said!
I liked it because it was not to sweet. Just perfect when you added Ice cream
Quickest and best cobbler I have ever made!
FABULOUS! Wonderful, creative, but original way to make your friends and family say WOW!
