Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh blackberries
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup skim milk
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the blackberries, 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mix gently and set aside to macerate while preparing the batter.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, blend the skim milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 6

Pour the macerated blackberries into a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom.

Step 7

Gently spoon the batter over the blackberries, allowing some of the berries to peek through the top of the batter.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cinnamon over the surface of the batter for an extra touch of flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
