Family Recipe: Easy Blackberry Cobbler

A good friend made a delicious cobbler earlier this week which inspired me look up my Aunt Pat’s recipe.  I have made for years.  The recipe calls for blackberries but you can really use any type of berries.  It is a great dessert to make for the family or share with others.
