Old fashioned strawberry cobbler is a delicious southern dessert made with fresh strawberries. It has a crumbly topping that is sweet and perfect with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
I recently found a recipe in my grandma's recipe box for an old-fashioned fruit cobbler. And it's such a southern staple. Some cobblers use biscuits, but the way my family in Texas has always made it is with a crumbly topping that is slightly cake-like.
The topping gets golden brown in the oven, and the fruit gets deliciously juicy. The strawberry cobbler is delicious to spoon out and then top with some ice cream. Such a delicious summer dessert.
So with a giant carton of strawberries in hand, I whipped up this fresh old-fashioned strawberry cobbler. So sweet and tasty. This recipe uses four cups of fruit, but if you like your cobbler with even more fruit, feel free to add another cup.
Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries
- Lemon juice
- Flour

How to make strawberry cobbler
This old-fashioned strawberry cobbler is so easy to make!
First preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Then, slice up your strawberries and add into an 8 by 11 baking dish. Squeeze lemon juice over the top of the strawberries and stir to combine.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and egg. Stir to combine completely. It will resemble a crumbly powder.
Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, making sure to cover evenly.
Melt the butter, then pour over the topping.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes until cooked through.
Scoop out and serve as desired.
Can you make the cobbler with other fruits?
Yes! One of my favorite versions of cobbler uses blackberries. The tartness of the blackberries is delicious with the sweet topping. Peach cobbler and blueberry cobbler are also common versions to make.
