Blackberry Cobbler

Why I Love This Recipe
A 4th of July dish every year for us. I can remember the first one I made. We picked the berries, we made dough, rolled it out, & used cookie cutters to cut out stares for the top crust. I was 8. And so proud to show off my cobbler for the family reunion.
This recipe is faster & easier than the one I made many centuries ago. But just as good.
