- The great thing about this recipe is that you can easily use fresh or frozen blackberries. When fresh blackberries are in season, I like to freeze them for recipes like this!

Key Ingredients
You’ll find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here are a few key players.
- Blackberries: Fresh or frozen (no need to thaw!)
- Brown + Raw Sugar: The mix gives just the right sweetness and caramel flavor.
- Lemon Juice: Brightens up the berries.
- Melted Butter + Cream: The combo makes the topping soft, rich, and perfectly golden.
How to Make
This couldn’t be easier, truly.
Prepare the Filling–In a large bowl, combine blackberries, brown sugar, raw sugar, lemon juice, and flour. Gently stir until berries are evenly coated. Pour into a shallow Dutch oven (I use this one and love it for both baking and clean-up).
Make the Topping–In a separate bowl combine flour, raw sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a small bowl, stir together melted butter and cream, then pour into dry ingredients and mix gently. Don’t over-stir—it should be crumbly.
Assemble & Bake–Sprinkle the topping evenly over the berries. Bake with the lid off at 350°F for about 25 minutes, until the berries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Note that it may take a little longer if you’re using frozen berries.
Cool & Serve–Let it sit for about 10 minutes (I know, it’s hard to wait!). Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream
Baking Tips
- Use an enameled Dutch oven for easier cleanup (especially if little hands are helping!) or a cast iron dutch oven works as well.
- Don’t overwork the topping—it’s meant to be rustic and crumbly.
- Watch for that bubbly edge and golden top to know it’s done.
- Store any leftovers (if there are any!) in the fridge for up to 3 days.

- For breakfast the next day? Don’t mind if I do. Warmed with a little yogurt on the side… bliss.
