Easy to Make—Step by Step
- Prep the fruit and filling: Add fruit, sugar, corn starch, melted butter, and lemon juice to your slow cooker. Toss gently with a spoon.
- Make the Topping: In a mixing bowl combine dry ingredients using a whisk—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then stir in the wet ingredients—eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, until a sticky dough forms.
- Assemble: Spoon dollops of the topping over the berry mixture. Don’t worry about covering all the fruit, it will spread as it cooks.
- Slow Cook: Set slow cooker to high and cook for roughly 3 hours or on low for 5-6. The fruit should be bubbling and the top lightly golden and cooked through.
- Cool slightly: Not too much! You want to serve it nice and warm.
Tips and Serving Suggestions
- Use fresh or frozen berries: No need to thaw frozen ones, just adjust the cook time a bit longer.
- Don’t overmix the topping: A light hand ensures a tender crust.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream: Personally, I love the icy cold vanilla ice cream with the warm cobbler, but cool whipped topping is also yummy.
