I use them for everything from Glazed Skillet Monkey Bread to hearty dinners like Supreme Pizza Pasta Skillet. But they’re especially perfect for cozy desserts like this Triple Berry Cobbler. To me, cobblers are comfort food in dessert form—always a family favorite, no matter the season, and almost never a crumb left behind.

How to Make the Best Triple Berry Skillet Cobbler Recipe

For this skillet cobbler, I used a frozen triple berry blend that consists of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries making this even simpler to prepare. Serve a bowl with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and it’s a dessert that’s guaranteed to hit your sweet spot.

• Macerate the Mixed Berries – In a bowl mix berries with granulated sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly coated and the cornstarch has dissolved.
• Make the Cobbler Batter – In a separate medium bowl whisk together flour, sugar, milk, egg, vanilla and almond extracts and cinnamon. Whisk just until combined and no lumps remain.
• Heat Oven and Prepare Skillet – To a 12-inch cast iron skillet, melt butter. Swirl until it coats bottom and sides.
• Assemble the Berry Cobbler – Immediately pour batter into skillet. Dollop fruit over batter using a tablespoon.
• Oven – Bake per the recipe puffy and golden brown.
• Enjoy – Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
