Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick spray
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Juice of 1 lemon
6 cups blackberries
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup blanched almonds
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small dice
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
Vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lowest position; preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • For the filling: Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water and the lemon juice. In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar and lemon zest (Depending on the sweetness of the blackberries, start with 1/3 cup sugar and add more as needed.) Pour the cornstarch mixture over the berries; toss to coat. Pour the filling into the prepared baking pan.
  • For the crust: Combine the flour, almonds, sugar, salt and butter in a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough begins to pull from the sides of the bowl. Gather the dough together on a floured work surface and pat it into a rectangle.
  • Roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle that measures about 11-by-15 inches. Transfer the crust to the baking pan, laying it directly on the blackberry filling. (Any overhanging crust can be rolled inward.) Prick the crust a couple times with a fork.
  • Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is thick, 35 to 45 minutes. If the top starts to get too dark, cover it with aluminum foil and continue cooking.
  • Spoon the cobbler onto plates and serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.

BLACKBERRY-PEACH COBBLER

Peak summer fruit is best prepared simply, especially in warm desserts like cobblers. In this recipe, the tartness of blackberries (or raspberries) balances the sweetness of yellow peaches (or nectarines), and the filling only needs the tiniest amount of sugar to get the juices flowing. Topped with a thin layer of fluffy cornmeal batter, the berries boil up to form juicy pockets, and a finish of raw sugar adds a satisfying crack. Serve this cobbler warm, or enjoy it any time of day, even for breakfast.

Time 45m

Yield 1 (10-inch) skillet cobbler (8 to 10 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds ripe yellow peaches (or nectarines), pitted and chopped into 1-inch chunks
1 pint/6 ounces blackberries (or raspberries)
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon tapioca starch or cornstarch
1 lemon, halved, zest reserved for cobbler topping
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk
1 large egg
3/4 cup/114 grams fine-grind cornmeal
3/4 cup/96 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons/57 grams cold unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon turbinado, or any raw sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the peaches, blackberries, granulated sugar and starch. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon on top and toss to combine. Scrape the mixture into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
  • Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine milk, egg and juice from the remaining 1/2 lemon; whisk to combine.
  • In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and reserved lemon zest; stir to combine. Add the cold butter. Using your fingertips, smear and rub the pieces into the cornmeal mixture until it looks like wet sand.
  • Make a well in the center of it and add the milk mixture. Using a spatula, stir until thoroughly combined, then spoon it over the top of your fruit. Level the topping to cover more of the fruit. Sprinkle the surface of the topping with the raw sugar.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is a deep golden brown. Let cool slightly, then serve warm.
