This collection brings together five cobblers with different fruit and flavor profiles, from berry-focused bakes to a chocolate version. Some use a slow cooker, while others rely on the oven and each recipe handles the topping in a different way.
Across the page, the methods include layering, crumbly dough, spooned batter, and double crust assembly. Each one is built to finish with a set topping and a soft, bubbling filling or sauce.

3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Cranberry Cobbler
This slow cooker cobbler starts with jellied cranberry sauce spread whole in the bottom of a greased cooker, then topped with dry yellow cake mix and melted butter. The layers are not stirred, which helps the cranberry stay underneath while the cake mix bakes into a soft topping with bubbling edges.
After cooking on HIGH or LOW until the top is set and lightly golden, the cobbler rests covered before serving. Spoon each portion so it includes both the cranberry layer and the cake layer for the full effect.

4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Vintage Strawberry Cobbler
Frozen strawberries go straight into the slow cooker for this vintage-style cobbler, then get a coating of granulated sugar. The topping is made separately by mixing flour and melted salted butter with a fork until crumbly, then scattering it over the berries with gaps left for juices to rise through.
The cobbler cooks covered on HIGH or LOW until the berries are bubbling and the topping is set. A covered rest at the end gives the juices time to thicken before serving, keeping the filling from running when spooned into bowls.

Blueberry Cobbler
This blueberry cobbler begins with a fruit base of blueberries tossed with flour, sugar, and lemon zest, then spread into a baking dish. The topping is made from flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, cold butter, and half and half, with the butter cut in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Spoon the dough over the berries in small portions and leave gaps so the filling can bubble through as it bakes. The cobbler is done when the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are thick and bubbling around the edges, then it cools briefly before serving.

Chocolate Cobbler
Chocolate cobbler uses a baked batter-and-sauce approach. Butter melts in the baking dish first, then a smooth batter of sugar, cocoa powder, self-rising flour, milk, and vanilla is spooned over it without stirring.
A separate sugar-cocoa mixture is sprinkled over the batter, then boiling water is poured on top without stirring again. Baking sets the top into a slight crust while the bottom stays saucy, and a short cooling period helps the sauce thicken before serving.

Easy Blackberry Cobbler
This blackberry cobbler uses refrigerated pie crusts in a cast iron skillet for a more pie-like finish. One crust is par-baked first, then filled with blackberries tossed in sugar, flour, and melted butter, plus a sprinkle of water over the fruit.
The second crust is laid on top, sealed, dotted with butter, and sprinkled with sugar before being vented with small slits. It bakes until the filling is bubbling and the top crust is golden brown, then cools slightly before serving warm.
