Fresh blueberries are lightly sweetened and spiced, covered with a flaky nutmeg- and-sugar dusted topping, and then cooked to perfection in this mouth-watering Blueberry Cobbler recipe.

This post featuring a Blueberry Cobbler was sponsored by Fresh From Florida.

As soon as the weather gets warmer, I start to crave fresh fruit. Luckily, living in Alabama, I have easy access to all kinds of fresh fruit and seafood directly from Florida! So far this season I’ve made these amazing Mini Blueberry Pies, as well as my family’s favorite Caramel and Nut Dipped Strawberry treats! And each recipe was made using fresh fruit.

Fresh blueberries are lightly sweetened and spiced, covered with a flaky nutmeg- and-sugar dusted topping, and then cooked to perfection in this mouth-watering Blueberry Cobbler recipe.

Loosely based on two different cobbler recipes – one I found years ago in a magazine, and the other a friend shared – this is truly the best homemade cobbler I’ve ever had! It’s also the perfect dessert for a family cookout or picnic. And the fresh blueberries make this fruit cobbler too delicious to pass up.

Homemade Blueberry Cobbler

Blueberry Cobbler Ingredients

For the Blueberry Filling

6 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

For The Crispy Crumbly Topping

1 cup and 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter, chilled & cut into little bits
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ tablespoon granulated sugar for sprinkling
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

How to Make Homemade Blueberry Cobbler

Preparation

Before you get started, place an oven rack in lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Lightly butter a round quiche or pie plate (10 inch) or a 2 or 2.5 quart baking dish. I personally like to use my 2.5 quart Good Cook rectangle ceramic dish.(aff. link)

For The Blueberry Filling

Begin by placing the blueberries into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the cup of sugar and lemon zest. Tip: work the zest into the sugar with your fingers. This will release all of those yummy essential oils and give you the maximum flavor!

Now add the flour and whisk until thoroughly combined. Next, sprinkle this mixture evenly over the berries in the prepared baking dish and toss gently. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed over the fruit. You don’t want any mounding in any one place. Now set the mixture to the side.

For The Topping

– In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 6 tbsps. sugar, baking powder and salt with a whisk until well combined.  
– Next, using a pastry blender, two knives, or a food processor, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal with pea-sized pieces of butter.
– Now, in a small bowl, whisk the vanilla into the lightly beaten egg using a fork. With the fork, slowly add the beaten egg and vanilla to flour mixture until moistened and a dough starts to form.
– Continue tossing and blending gently with your fingertips until it is well combined. Take care not to overwork the dough! You want the dough to look like crumbles – see the picture below. Tip: if the dough is still too powdery, add a little more egg (not a whole one though).

Assemble the Blueberry Cobbler

Now sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the blueberries. Follow this with a sprinkling of sugar (from the remaining 1/2 tbsp) and grated nutmeg for some extra YUM!

Bake the Cobbler

Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the filling is cooked all the way through. This usually takes about 40 to 45 minutes. Tip: prevent over-browning of topping by cover with a sheet of aluminum foil after 25 minutes of baking. Once it is done baking, remove the foil and place it on a wire rack to cool.
