Share a yummy Blackberry Cobbler Mini Skillet with a loved one! Recipe makes 2 skillets (4 servings) and cooks on a pellet grill or in oven.
Preheat oven or pellet grill to 350℉. If using pellet grill preheat according to manufacturer instructions.
Make Fruit Filling- place fresh or frozen (un-thawed) blackberries in a medium bowl. Add brown sugar, salt, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon and vanilla. Stir gently to combine. Evenly divide filling into two, 6" cast iron skillets. Set aside. NOTE: If using FROZEN berries in the filling, let them thaw in the skillets as you prepare the topping. Keep juices that accrue in skillets while they thaw.
Make crumb topping- Stir flour, 2 T. sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Cut in chunks of COLD butter, using a pastry blender or 2 forks until it is the size of peas. Stir in sour cream until incorporated. Pinch dough into small pieces with your fingers; distribute evenly over blackberry filling. Sprinkle remaining 1 T. sugar over topping, dividing evenly between skillets.
Cooking In Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. (or 176.6°C.). Place a piece of foil under skillets to catch any drips (and for easier cleanup). Bake at 350°F. for 30-35 minutes or until cobblers are bubbling around edges and topping is light brown.
Cooking On A Traeger/Pellet Grill: Start smoker according to manufacturer instructions. Preheat to 350°F. When at temp., add cobbler skillets. Cook at 350°F. for 30-35 minutes or until cobblers are bubbling around edges and topping is light brown. NOTE: Use favorite pellets (it doesn't make a difference which kind)!
When done, let cobblers cool for 5-10 minutes, before serving. Serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream (or 2 small scoops-1 for each person sharing skillet).
NOTE: Caloric calculation is for one serving of HALF of a skillet cobbler, without the ice cream (optional).
