Super Simple Blackberry Cobbler

I think a cherry or berry pie is one of my all time favorite desserts. And a simple version of either one of those is even better! And I love a good cobbler crust. I've always called this particular kind of crust a "pour crust" because you, well, you pour it over the fruit. This cobbler would work well with almost any kind of fruit. I used frozen blackberries but peaches would be scrumptious, too. Give it a try for a quick and easy weeknight dessert.
