How to Make Air Fryer Blackberry Cobbler

Here are the simple steps:

Step One: Place the butter in your baking pan and put it in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F, set the air fryer to the hottestsetting, and let the butter melt for 2-3 minutes while the air fryer is preheating.

Step Two: Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and lemon-lime soda.

Step Three: Whisk until all of the flour is incorporated. A few lumps are fine.

Step Four: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and top with the blackberries. Cover the pan with foil and place it in the air fryer.

Step Five: Set cook time for 15-20 minutes or until the cobbler puffs and looks cooked around the edges. The center will not be fully cooked.

Step Six: Remove the foil and set cook time for 15 more minutes or until the cobbler is golden brown and fully cooked in the center. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Let the cobbler cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Air Fryer Blackberry Cobbler Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh or Frozen Blackberries: Both work well in this recipe. If using frozen, there’s no need to thaw them first; just toss them with the sugar and lemon zest as directed.
• Adjust Sweetness to Taste: Depending on the tartness of your blackberries, you should adjust the amount of granulated sugar.
• Check for Doneness: Since air fryer models vary, start checking for doneness a few minutes before the suggested time. The topping should be golden brown and cooked through.
• Use a Liner or Parchment Paper: To prevent sticking and make cleanup easier, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or use a silicone liner.
• Cool Slightly Before Serving: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes after air frying. This helps the juices to settle and makes it easier to serve.
• Top with Ice Cream: For an extra treat, serve your cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
• Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the blackberry mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
