This berry cobbler brings in all the sweet, jammy flavors of summer, topped with a satisfyingly crispy shortbread crumble. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries all get an added hit of caramelly brown sugar and a kick of almond extract. To contrast the fruity, slightly tart filling of this cobbler, we add a buttery crumbled oat topping. It’s both rich and delicate, and it adds the perfect amount of crunch to the beautifully bubbling fruit filling. This berry-filled cobbler is minimal effort and maximum reward. The only thing missing? A heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream to top it all off.
To give this cobbler a modern yet timeless presentation, we used the Milo Ultimate Skillet. And this enameled cast-iron skillet delivers serious performance. It essentially offers the same heat distribution, even cooking, and durability as your standard cast-iron skillet but requires no seasoning or complicated care instructions. These skillets are designed for pros and newcomers alike because of their easy-to-wash, low-maintenance glassy enamel. Not to mention, every piece of Milo cookware comes with a lifetime guarantee. Compatible with induction cooktops and oven-safe up to 500℉ (260℃), this piece can smoothly transition from stovetop to oven to dining table. It’ll quickly become your new favorite vessel for cobblers, crumbles, rustic breads, and more.
