Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Blackberry and Apple Fruit filling

  • 3 cooking apples medium-sized or 2 large - approximately 1 pound or 450 grams in weight
  • 1/3 cup muscovado sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups blackberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour

Cobbler Topping

  • 1 1/2 cup plain flour all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons milk use prefered type
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the fruit filling

  • Wash and prepare the blackberries, removing any stalks as you go.
  • Peel, core and dice the cooking apples. (If you're using eating apples then you may choose to leave the skins on.)
  • Add these to the pie dish to make a nice fruit layer. Sprinkle the sugar and the cinnamon over the fruit along with 1 tablespoon of cornflour.
  • Gently mix these ingredients together.
  • Preheat the oven to 375F/190C/170C Fan

Make the Cobbler topping

  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a bowl along with the butter.
  • Rub the fat into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in the sugar. Add in 2/3 of the milk and stir to make a fairly wet, soft dough. Use more of the milk if the dough seems too dry.
  • Spoon the soft dough over the fruit in a fairly organic fashion. You are not looking to make a smooth topping, just dot it over the fruit.
  • The cobbler needs to cook for between 35 and 45 minutes when it should be golden brown and the fruit will be bubbling underneath.
  • Remove from the oven and serve in your favourite way.
