Cobblers are a great way to enjoy the taste of sweet summer berries in any season. Juicy bubbly berries topped with a tender, flaky crust make this classic dessert a crowd pleaser. This quick and easy version comes together in 5 minutes and requires only 7 ingredients.
Using pre-made biscuit dough creates a perfect, butter topping for juicy berries. You can use fresh or frozen berries for this recipe, but if you use frozen, allow them to thaw before cooking. The cinnamon and vanilla enhance the berries natural sweetness.
