This Blueberry Cobbler recipe is a great dessert any time of the year but will become your go-to dessert in the summer when fresh berries are at their peak. This delicious cobbler recipe makes an irresistible dessert and the brown sugar pecan crust gives the topping a crispy-crunchy contrast. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If you love a good cobbler, then you’ve come to the right place. This cobbler recipe is full of everything we love in our cobblers with a kick of a little something extra. I’ve been making all sorts of cobbler for years, but aside from the fillings, nothing’s really changed over that time. So I decided to mix things up and give my next cobbler a makeover. I took my classic blueberry cobbler recipe, and I added an extra layer of sweetness and crunch with my brown sugar pecan crust. It’s absolutely delicious, and it makes the perfect after-dinner treat or potluck dessert for any occasion.

Blueberry Cobbler Recipe with Brown Sugar Pecan Crust

This delicious cobbler starts with a simple blueberry filling that requires no stovetop cooking. Then, it’s topped with a wonderful, classic cobber batter. Finally, I cover the entire thing in a brown sugar pecan crust that adds even more sweetness and the earthy flavor of pecans, and I bake the whole thing to golden perfection. What I get is a cobbler that’s full of all the great flavors and textures I’ve always loved in traditional cobbler but with a little something extra to make it super special.

Why You’ll Love This Blueberry Cobbler Recipe

  • It has a delicious cobbler topping and a brown sugar pecan crust topping.
  • It’s absolutely delicious and loaded with fresh blueberries.
  • Once you taste this cobbler with the added brown sugar pecan crust, it will be your new favorite.

Tips

  • Leave your butter in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cut it into the cobbler batter so it’s as cold as possible.
  • Don’t overwork the butter and flour mixture. Stop cutting when it’s crumbly.

Variations

  • Use any summer berries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, for the filling.
  • You can dice up apples, peaches, pears, or most of your other favorite fruits for the filling, as well.
  • Use any of your favorite nuts for the brown sugar crust.

Recipe FAQ

Can I substitute frozen blueberries for fresh?

You sure can. Just add the same amount of frozen blueberries that you would fresh.

Why is my blueberry cobbler runny?

Runny cobbler is usually the result of extra juicy fruit or not letting the cobbler sit long enough. Cobbler has to cool a bit for the filling to thicken properly.

How do you make a cobbler thicker?

Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the fruit mixture to make the filling thicker.

Can you make blueberry cobbler in advance?

You can make the filling in advance, but I don’t recommend making the full cobbler before you’re ready to serve it. It’s best when it’s fresh from the oven.

Can you freeze homemade blueberry cobbler?

It freezes very well. Cobbler will last for up to 3 months in the freezer.

How to Store and Reheat Leftover Blueberry Cobbler

Store the cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze it for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container.

To reheat cobbler, let it come to room temperature. Then, bake it at 250 degrees until warmed through.
