Blueberry Cobbler

This simple blueberry cobbler pairs a sweet, juicy blueberry filling with a golden, buttery topping for a simple yet irresistible dessert.

This blueberry cobbler is the perfect balance of sweet, juicy fruit and a golden, buttery topping that bakes up light and tender. Fresh blueberries are brightened with a touch of lemon, then tucked under spoonfuls of batter that spread into a crisp, golden crust as it bakes. It’s a comforting, old-fashioned dessert that comes together easily and tastes just as good warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as it does on its own.
