This colorful cobbler is very juicy, but the sweetened berry "sauce" is so delicious it's worth spooning up. If you don't have time to make the sour cream topping, a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar or a dollop of vanilla yogurt works well, too.

Ingredients

Berry Filling:

Unsalted butter, for greasing insert

1/4 cup cornstarch

2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

Two 12-ounce bags frozen mixed berries (about 5 1/2 cups)

2/3 cup granulated sugar

Biscuit Topping:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch fine salt

4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

3/4 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Whipped Sour Cream Topping:

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. For the filling: Butter the sides and bottom of the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Whisk together the cornstarch, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the insert, add the berries and granulated sugar and toss.
  2. For the biscuit topping: Whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub the mixture together with your fingers so that it forms a coarse meal with some pea-sized lumps. Add the milk and stir with a wooden spoon to form a wet dough.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the dough on top of the berry mixture. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle over the dough. Cover the slow cooker and set to high for 3 to 4 hours. The cobbler should be bubbly and the biscuits should be cooked through. Let rest for 20 minutes before serving.
  4. For the sour cream topping: Meanwhile, combine the heavy cream, sour cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixture until the mixture forms medium peaks.
  5. Spoon the cobbler into bowls and top with the whipped sour cream topping.

This was really good however as another reviewer mentioned I think the milk liquidity was too much. The dough was extremely runny not like regular dough. I had to improvise and add more flour, a bit more cornstarch, sugar, & extra cinnamon to really taste good and have enough to cover the entire mixture. Very tasty & would make again.
