Full of delicious cherries, raspberries, and blueberries and finished with a crumbly, crisp topping with a surprise ingredient- toffee bits!
No matter what time of year, I'm always a HUGE sucker for warm fruit desserts; pies, tarts, cobblers, kuchens, you name it, if it's fruity with a crust or crunch, it's got my name written all over it!
So when I saw huge, ruby red, sweet cherries, plump juicy blueberries, and beautiful fresh raspberries, all on sale, at the market, I really had no choice right? The idea for this yummy summer cobbler was swirling in my mind as I left the store and I didn't even have my groceries put away at home before it was making itself (well, kind of.... it IS super simple!).
I think you'll love the crumbly, crisp topping with a surprise ingredient ... toffee bits, which add a layer of buttery, caramely sweetness- quite irresistble, to be sure! Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you'll be known as the culinary rock star around your domain!

Summer Cherry-Berry Cobbler W/ Toffee-Streusel Topping
Ingredients
Ingredients for the fruit filling:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons quick tapioca
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 cups sweet cherries, pitted*
Ingredients for the topping:
- 10 tablespoons butter
- 1 ÂĽ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup toffee bits, set aside 2 tablespoons, I used Heath Bits
- a pinch salt, if using unsalted butter
Instructions
Directions:
- Combine fruit, sugar, cornstarch and tapioca in a large bowl. Stir gently to combine. Pour into a deep pie dish or tart pan. Bake at 350ËšF for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes while preparing the topping.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the flour, sugar and toffee bits (except for the reserved 2 tablespoons) and stir with a fork until large wet crumbs form. If mixture is too wet and doesn't form crumbs, add just a bit more flour, but be careful not to add to much. You want large, wet crumbs.
- Taking a handful at a time, scatter crumb mixture over top of berries. Return cobbler to oven and bake another 10 minutes. Sprinkle reserve toffee bits over crumbs and return to oven for another 5-10 minutes or until golden.

Hi! I was wondering if you could use frozen cherries instead of fresh ones. If so, should you let them defrost before using?
Thanks!
Yes, you could definitely use frozen cherries and I would just throw them in frozen. Wish I was at your house, I love this dessert! 🙂
Toffee bits? Now that is a bit of brilliance. Love that addition. I'm a sucker for warm fruit desserts too and I also agree with you about the cherry pitter, worth it's weight in gold.
Two weeks ago I made an America's Test Kitchen berry dessert with a streusel topping - supposed to be their best - and I really didn't like the streusel. So I'm game for trying your streusel recipe and, with cherries, even better. Sounds delicious.
i was just looking at one of your old blueberries cobbler post just few days ago and thought that's really beautiful and here am i seeing another mouthwatering cobbler, beautiful!
Can't wait to try this! Looks spectacular!
This I could go for easily. And those toffee bits,yummy!
That is definitely a rock star dish, so awesome looking.
Oh Chris, your picture is incredible. This sounds delicious. Coffee and cobbler, next time you are in town. It could work! : )
So good looking, your pics are quite stunning actually! I love warm comfort desserts too!
Oh my, Chris!
I have some white peaches & blueberries in the fridge - and Heath bits in the cupboard - it's like baking kismet! I will have to make this tomorrow. We love crisps & this one looks amazing!
I'm so glad you posted your recipe! It looks wonderful, love the pictures!! I could go for a BIG piece right now with vanilla ice cream.
I just visited a post with a Toffee Chocolate Trifle and now this! I think you love Heath bars as much as I do...and what a great idea to add a little yummy crunch to the top of a cobbler. I always overbuy fruit in the summer...I will make your yummy cobbler with my next haul.
PS...so many people are making your sister's chocolate meringue cookies...they get thumbs up all around!
OMG LOve this look amazing and delicious!!
Oh, my goodness. I'm on my way. I'll make the quiche. You make this. Wow, it looks amazing.
Oh Chris, the way the berries ooze over the side... wow! I wish berries were on sale here.
I just realised I've spent $35 on strawberries in the last 2 weeks. I just can't stop going back to the shops. Well I could, but I don't want to!
Chris this looks fantastic especially with the juices running over the sides. I just finished eating a basket of cherries and love them. I honestly never thought of adding them to a pie or crisp because they're so good on their own. However with the addition of the Heath bar crumbles I'm sure it takes an ordinary pie and sends it into orbit. I must try this!
sorry, that was a typo! it's 2 cups!
All of my favourites in one beautiful, ruby coloured dessert.
The toffee bits must have taken this cobbler over the top. Just beautiful.
Wow Chris, this looks mouth watering good! Love the Summer fruit and the toffee streusel makes me want to dive right in 🙂
This looks delicious and I'd love to make it. Do you really need 12 cups of blueberries?
I love the look of this. You've photographed it beautifully. That's such a lot of fruit - I'm amazed it's all fitted into the pan. I'm sure this is an amazing tasting cobbler xx
I've never really understood what a cobbler was - I'd call this a crumble! But the toffee bits are genius, I must try it.
Waw! What a truly amazing, awesome & appetizing recipe! a must make! I love hot Devon custard poured all over it! Double yum!
Ps/ I also made your herbed naan & loved it so much! 🙂 xxx
I kept saying as I was reading your ingredients, "Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness!" I think those toffee bits are a brilliant idea! OH MY GOODNESS!
