Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 2 cups mixed fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, chopped)
• 0.25 cups light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream (for brushing the crust)
• 1 tablespoon raw sugar or granulated sugar (for sprinkling the crust)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Cut in the chilled, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

In another medium bowl, combine the mixed fresh berries, light brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter (or a glass) to cut circles slightly larger than the ramekins or muffin tins you’ll be using.

Step 7

Place each dough circle into the bottom of a ramekin or muffin tin, pressing gently to form a base. Save additional dough for topping.

Step 8

Fill each crust with about 1/4 cup of the berry mixture, leaving a little room at the top for bubbling juices.

Step 9

For the topping, either cut out smaller dough shapes to lay over the berries or crumble remaining dough for a rustic cobbler look.

Step 10

Brush the top dough with milk or heavy cream, then sprinkle with sugar for a golden, crisp finish.

Step 11

Place the ramekins or muffin tin on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your individual baby pies or cobblers warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
