Notes

Although this is not the most traditional way of making a fruit cobbler, it is one of the quickest and easier ways of doing it. Its perfect for making with kids and getting them involved in the kitchen with a fun, delicious, and easy project. 

Leftovers (if any) can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

If you don’t have fresh blackberries, but frozen it’s ok, just thaw them slightly before using them to prevent the extra juices from ruining the cobbler and making it soggy.
