I created this easy cobbler recipe around Christmas time while I was trying to figure out a last-minute dessert idea. We didn’t have a ton of food in the fridge, so I grabbed a bag of frozen berries, dumped them into a slow cooker, and whipped up a simple drop biscuit to add on top.

Ingredients You’ll Need

raw honey
frozen organic mixed berries
pure vanilla
salt
all-purpose flour
pure cane sugar
baking powder
cold butter
ground cinnamon
water

Why Use Frozen Berries

You can use fresh berries but the frozen are a great option when the berries aren’t in season.

Use a fork to cut the butter into the mixture. When butter is in small pieces and the mixture is combined into a soft dough, add on top of the berries in the slow cooker.

Finally, place the lid on top of the slow cooker and turn it on low to cook for 5-6 hours. (If you’re in a rush, turn on high for 3-4 hours)

How to Incorporate Butter

Cutting cold butter into a dough mixture isn’t hard. You’re going to cut your cold butter into medium-sized cubes and drop them into the mix. Then you’ll take a fork and smush the butter pieces down into the dry dough mixture.

An even easier way, and my favorite, is to simply grate the butter with a box grater used for cheese. This way, you can just stir the butter chunks into the flour mixture without any cutting with a fork.
