Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust

Blackberry Cobbler with Pie Crust and dumplings is an old fashioned Southern dessert that is perfect for the summer. Although many cobblers use cake mix, Bisquick, or canned biscuits, pie crust gives this cobbler a unique combination of not only flavors but also textures.
Although you could definitely use fresh blackberries, I used frozen blackberries because they are all in season and are easy to use since there is no prepping. However, I used a homemade pie crust, but you could definitely use a storebought pie crust in your blackberry cobbler to make things super simple.
I started by boiling the frozen blackberries with water and sugar. Although adding water to a cobbler may sound odd, you need to add some water if you are going to boil the berries because if you don't, eventually all of the juice in the berries will boil away and the berries will stick to the bottom of the pan. It may also seem like boiling the berries before adding them to the cobbler is extra work, but most old fashioned blackberry cobbler recipes with pie crust in the South first call for boiling the berries: that way, you ensure that some start to break down and help to create a thicker syrup.
Everyone is familiar with pie crust on the top and bottom of a cobbler or pie, but most people have never thought about putting pie crust inside of a blackberry cobbler to make dumplings. In many traditional Southern cobbler recipes, people add little pieces of pie crust, drops of dough, or pieces of biscuits in order to form small pieces of dough within the fruit filling. Even though some may think this boiled dough would turn out spongey or leathery, it is actually smooth and silky, the soft pie crust dumplings offers a great contrast to the crispy pie crust on the top of this blackberry cobbler.
