Strawberry cobbler is such a delicious treat.  It's the perfect way to enjoy fresh berries during strawberry season, or make it using frozen berries other times of year.  This easy strawberry cobbler recipe is easy to put together.  No need to fuss with pastry, this cobbler topping is so much easier to make, and creates the perfect baked dessert.  Make these fruit cobblers in individual mason jars like we did, or use this recipe to make one large one.  Either way this delicious recipe is sure to become a new favorite.

This strawberry cobbler in a mason jar is sweet and delicious and everything a summer dessert should be.  The juicy strawberries pair perfectly with the crisp cobbler topping, creating the perfect  balance.  It's also so much easier than making pie crust from scratch and getting out your pastry blender and rolling pin.  This easy cobbler recipe is a great alternative to making a strawberry pie, with minimal effort and amazing taste.  It's a great way to use up any leftover strawberries for a delicious dessert.

Crisp Vs. Cobber

What's the difference between a crisp and cobbler?  A cobbler is a dish containing fruit topped off with a sweet batter or biscuit like topping.  Cobbler recipes do not contain rolled oats.  Strawberry crisp, or any fruit crisp is also a baked fruit dish, but the topping usually contains of rolled oats, and brown sugar, and has a strudel like consistency.  Cobbler may have received its name because the cobbler batter topping resembles a cobblestone path, with gaps between the stone path.

Fresh or Frozen Berries

Strawberries are in season in Ontario right now where I live, and this would be the perfect way to use some that you've freshly picked.  If strawberries are out of season, feel free to use frozen strawberries in the place of fresh fruit for this recipe.  Just let them thaw first, and drain any excess liquids before adding it to the recipe.

Individual or One Large Strawberry Cobbler

I made these as individual strawberry cobblers in mini mason jars.  You could also make them in small ramekins.  The individual strawberry cobblers make serving these very easy, since guests can just help themselves to one.  The mason jars are also great if you need to bring this dish somewhere, since you can just add the individual lids onto each jar to seal them for transport.  They also look really cute in the individual jars.

You can also use this recipe to make one large strawberry cobbler in a 2 qt. baking dish. and increase the cooking time to about 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

More Fruit Options

This recipe is so good. Even my picky eater who won't even try strawberries loved this dessert.   I think it's my very favorite dessert to make with fresh strawberries.  But you can also make this delicious cobbler with lots of different fruit options. It's very versatile, and an easy way to make lots of different fruit desserts.  Use peaches to make peach cobbler, try blueberries for blueberry cobbler, use blackberries for blackberry cobbler, or try a combination of fruits.  Use of mix of summer berries for a mixed berry cobbler, or try combining strawberry and rhubarb for a strawberry rhubarb cobbler.  Substitute any of these options, replacing the two cups of strawberries, or 2 cups of a different type of fruit, or combination of fruits to make any type of cobbler you like.  If your fruit is extremely sweet you can reduce the ¼ of sugar you add to the fruit, and if it's not very sweet, you may want to increase it, especially if you have a sweet tooth.  This recipe makes the best cobbler, with any kind of fruit.

Serving Suggestions

You can serve this easy dessert warm or at room temperature.  Top your strawberry cobbler a little vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream.  The tart fruit, crispy sweet cobbler topping and creamy ice cream or whipped cream make the perfect combination of flavors.  Warm strawberry cobbler is particularly delicious served with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect warm cobbler and cold ice cream juxtaposition.

Canada Day Dessert

Cobbler seems to be a not very Canadian dessert, most people I've served it to have never tried it, but they were certainly converts after one try. I really love it, and it's so much easier than making a pie.

This really is the perfect treat for this long weekend. I paired it up with pretty free printables from Polkadot Prints. We heart Canada, and we heart this strawberry cobbler. 😉

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup soft butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Slice large strawberries in half or quarters, and mix the sliced strawberries with up to ¼ cup of sugar, depending on the berries sweetness. Then divide the strawberry mixture among the 12 mini 4 oz. mason jars, or in the bottom of a 2 quart baking dish.
  • To prepare the cobbler topping, cream butter and 1 cup of sugar in the large bowl of a stand mixer. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder and combine fully, without over mixing.
  • Divide the cobbler between the 12 mason jars, flatten into a disk and place over the strawberries. Or, if you're making one large strawberry cobbler, spoon the topping over top of the strawberries in the baking dish. Place mason jars on a cookie sheet for cooking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees, for about 20 min. for individual mason jar cobbers and 35 min. for one larger baking dish until the cobbler is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly and add the lids onto the mason jars to make a more portable treat. Serve with whip cream or vanilla ice cream if you like. This is delicious served warm or room temperature.

    A delicious treat - the individual jars are a cute idea (and they help with portion control too - not that we need to worry about that!)
