Equipment

  • 8 or 9 inch pie plate
  • Hand mixer
  • foil
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 (21) ounce can blueberry pie filling (see notes for substitutions)

Topping

  • ½ cup unsalted softened butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • coarse sugar to sprinkle on top optional

Instructions

  • Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F. You can line a baking sheet with foil to catch any drips during baking and set aside.
  • Make the Topping: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually mix the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt at low speed until combined.

Notes

If you're using homemade blueberry pie filling, measure out 1 ½ cups.  If you've canned it and have extras, refrigerate the leftovers and use them as an ice cream topping within a week or so.
To make your own from fresh blueberries, simmer the following ingredients on the stovetop for 15 minutes:    
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (mix with sugar to prevent lumps)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • pinch cinnamon
Then, pour into the dish and proceed with the cobbler recipe as written.
