As the summer season unfolds, our kitchens are filled with an abundance of juicy fruits, begging to be transformed into a delicious dessert. Crisps, crumbles, and cobblers are the perfect solution, and with this easy recipe, you’ll be enjoying a warm, fruity treat in no time.

The Secret to a Stress-Free Cobbler

One of the biggest advantages of this recipe is its simplicity. By using store-bought pie crust, you’ll save time and effort, allowing you to focus on the fun part – combining your favorite summer fruits with a hint of sweetness and a crunchy topping.

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you begin, make sure you have the following essentials:

• A large mixing bowl
• A spoon
• A pie plate or small baking dish
• A timer
• 6 pints of mixed berries (excluding strawberries, which can become too watery)
• Sugar
• Flour
• A third of a stick of butter
• One store-bought frozen pie crust (thawed)

Assembling the Cobbler

Now that you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to bring everything together:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F, allowing it to warm up for at least 20 minutes.
2. Rinse the berries and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Sprinkle three heaping spoonfuls of sugar and one spoonful of flour over the berries. Gently stir to coat, then taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking. Feel free to add a hint of vanilla or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
4. Transfer the berry mixture to an ungreased pie plate or baking dish.
5. Break the butter into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the top of the fruit.
6. Place the pie crust on top, breaking it into pieces for a rustic, cobbler-like texture. Sprinkle a large spoonful of sugar over the crust.
7. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then check to see if the fruit is bubbling and the crust has turned golden. If not, return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
8. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes.
9. Serve warm, spooning the cobbler into bowls and enjoying with a scoop of ice cream if desired.

Tips and Variations

• For a more rustic look, break the pie crust into smaller pieces before placing it on top of the fruit.
• Experiment with different types of summer fruits, such as peaches or nectarines, for a unique flavor combination.
• Consider adding a splash of liqueur, like Grand Marnier or Cognac, to the berry mixture for a grown-up twist.
