We’re gearing up for the last week of school around here. How about we welcome in summer, shall we? What better way to celebrate summer than a fresh blueberry cobbler served with vanilla ice cream?

We usually go for peach cobbler, but this week we decided to switch things up and make a blueberry cobbler.

This recipe is a classic cobbler crust over a layer of fresh, ripe blueberries. It’s simple and easy to put together and so delicious.

Key to Success #1 – The Classic Cobbler Crust

Just like my easy peach cobbler recipe, the crust for this blueberry cobbler starts with equal parts sugar and all-purpose flour.

I doubled the crust recipe because I had so many blueberries and I like a lot of crust.

Key to Success #2 – Blueberries

I like my blueberries to be soft and juicy so I cook them with a little sugar before I put them into my cobbler.

This lets the juices out of the blueberries and makes the berries so much sweeter.

Don’t forget to taste your berries so that you can adjust the amount of sugar, if needed.
