- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (to thicken)
For the topping:

Pro Tips
- Sweetness: Adjust sugar depending on the tartness of your blackberries.
- Juicy filling: Toss berries with a bit of cornstarch or flour to prevent a too-runny cobbler.
- Topping variations: Use biscuit dough or a streusel topping for extra texture.
- Make ahead: Can be assembled and refrigerated before baking; bake when ready.
