This is my mom's recipe and is very easy with few ingredients. It works very well with blackberries as well as fresh peaches (adjust the sugar to taste). If using blackberries thicken slightly with corn starch in the first step.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

No canned blueberries in this cobbler. It's filled with fresh ones and it's bursting with blueberry flavor. The crumble on top is light, airy, and crunchy. Perfect with the blueberry filling. This from-scratch cobbler is easy to make and delicious. Cobblers typically have more a cake-like topping, and this has a crumb-like one, but it's so good whatever you call it. Just add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a wonderful dessert.
