If you know me, then you know I love fruit cobblers! Funny thing is, before I started food blogging, I had never even tried one before.
Now I make them all the time, and my boyfriend loves them just as much as I do (he had never tried one before either)! He told me this berry cobbler reminds him of those yummy mixed berry Nutri-Grain bars from Kellogg's that we use to bring for school snacks growing up!
Some of our favourite fruit cobbler recipes that I've made over the years that you may also enjoy is this peach cobbler with canned peaches, 3 ingredient apple cobbler with cake mix, and 3 ingredient cherry cobbler with cake mix.

Helpful Tips
- Wait at least 10 minutes before serving the baked cobbler to avoid it being runny. Rest time will help it set and thicken.
- Some people prefer to melt the butter and pour it over the cake mix, while others like to slice the butter. Either works!
- Add more lemon juice to the berries if you find there is a lot of cornstarch present after mixing.
Frequently Asked Questions
This may happen if there isn't enough cornstarch to thicken the berries or it didn't rest long enough after baking to set up.
It can be made in advance and reheated, but for best results and especially a crisp topping, it's best made and served the same day.
