Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using fresh, wash them but do not dry)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Topping
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1/3 cup milk
To Serve (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberry filling: In a large bowl, stir together the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and brown sugar until fully combined. Pour this mixture into a large crockpot and spread it out evenly.
- Make the cobbler topping: In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the room temperature butter into this dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs or fine grains.
- Combine topping ingredients: Pour the milk into the flour and butter mixture and stir until it forms a stiff dough that holds together well.
- Assemble and cook: Crumble the dough evenly over the blueberry mixture in the crockpot. Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 3 ½ hours or on high for 2 hours, or until the topping has turned a light golden color and formed a firm crust.
- Serve: Spoon the warm cobbler into bowls and serve topped with vanilla ice cream and fresh mint leaves, if desired, for an added burst of flavor and freshness.
Notes
- You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries; if using fresh, do not dry them after washing to retain moisture.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature to easily cut into the flour mixture.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your crockpot’s heat settings.
- Serving with ice cream adds creaminess and complements the fruity cobbler perfectly.
- If you prefer a thicker topping, you can slightly reduce the milk amount.
