Blueberry desserts top the list as some of my all-time favorites. There is just something ultra-delicious about blueberries, so much so that I planted my own blueberry plants this summer! It’s so nice to be able to walk outside and grab some for baking.

This Blueberry Cobbler has a simple blueberry filling that is thickened slightly with corn starch, sweetened with sugar and brightened with a bit of fresh lemon zest.

I top my cobbler with a combination of my biscuit recipe and lemon blueberry scone recipe. It’s sweet, light, flaky and goes perfect with the blueberry filling.

What Is The Difference Between a Cobbler, Crumble and Crisp?

All three of these desserts start with a delicious fruit filling. The difference lies primarily in the topping. A cobbler, like this one, has a biscuit or scone like topping. A crumble is historically a combination of sugar, butter and flour that gets “crumbled” over the top of the fruit filling. A crisp will usually have oats added to the topping and it gets sprinkled over the filling. It bakes up with a lovely crispy topping. All are amazing in their own right!

Try this easy cobbler recipe with different fruits or mix and match! We love blueberries with peaches or nectarines or try strawberries or even apples. Blackberries, raspberries – we love it all!

What You’ll Need

This recipe is really so incredibly simple. The blueberry filling comes together in minutes and then we’re making a combination of my biscuit recipe and lemon blueberry scones recipe for the biscuit topping. Let’s take a quick look at what you’ll need and, as always, you can find the full printable recipe card at the end of this post.

Blueberry Filling

• blueberries – the star of the show! Pick through blueberries carefully making sure to remove stems and discard soft and blemished berries.
• lemon zest – brightens the flavor and perfectly complements the blueberries.
• granulated sugar – sweetens the blueberry filling.
• corn starch – helps to thicken the blueberry filling just a bit.

Biscuit Topping

• all purpose flour – this is the structure of the biscuit or scone topping.
• granulated sugar – makes the biscuits nice and sweet.
• baking powder – that’s the leavening ingredient and is needed for a nice rise in the biscuits.
• salt – balances the sweetness in this cobbler.
• unsalted butter –you can use salted butter, just omit the salt from the recipe.
• heavy cream – milk or buttermilk can be used instead but the cream gives a really delicious richness to this recipe.
• vanilla extract – just enough for flavor.
• heavy cream – gets brushed on top of the biscuit topping. You can also use milk here.
• sanding sugar– sprinkle on top of the biscuits for a lovely finish. Turbinado sugar or granulated sugar can also be used.

How To Make Blueberry Cobbler

1. Prep baking dish. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray an 8 inch or 9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Prepare Blueberry Filling

1. Combine filling ingredients. Stir together blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest and corn starch. Pour blueberries into prepared baking dish and set aside.

Prepare Biscuit Topping

1. Combine dry ingredients. Using apastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until only a handful of small, pea-sized pieces of butter remain.
2. Add wet ingredients. Stir in the cream and vanilla extract just until just combined.
3. Add biscuit topping. Scoop out biscuit dough and drop onto filling or lightly flatten into discs and place on filling. You may not use all of the dough, that’s totally okay. Make a biscuit or scone with any leftovers.
4. Sugar topping. Brush biscuits with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar.
5. Bake cobbler. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the blueberry filling is bubbling and the biscuits are lightly golden brown and cooked through. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Blueberry Cobbler can be served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
