Equipment

Ingredients
  

For Cobbler Base:

  • 2 21- ounce cans blueberry pie filling
  • 14-17 ounce dry blueberry muffin mix (see note below)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)

For Streusel Topping:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter (cubed)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  • Spread the blueberry pie filling evenly into the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the dry blueberry muffin mix evenly over the filling. Do NOT stir.
  • Pour melted butter evenly across the top, trying to moisten as much of the mix as possible.
  • In a small mixing bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing together flour, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter cubes, using a fork or your fingers to mash and crumble the butter into the dry ingredients until you have pea-sized crumbs
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the blueberry muffin mix layer before baking.
  • Bake uncovered for 40–50 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges. The topping should look fully baked.
  • Let cool 10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • You can use a box of yellow cake mix instead of muffin mix, if preferred.
  • There are many different kinds of blueberry muffin mix on the market. Some are sold in 7-ounce packages, such as Jiffy and Martha White brands. If using these, you'll want two packages (for a total of 14 ounces). Other brands, such as Krusteaz, Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, and Kodiak, range from 14-17 ounces. If using those, you'll just need one package.
  • Some boxed muffin mixes come with a small can of blueberries--if that's the case with your variety, I recommend draining them and adding them to the pie filling.
Variation Ideas:
  • Blueberry-Lemon Dump Cake: add 1 teaspoon lemon zest and the juice of one lemon to the blueberry pie filling. You can also substitute lemon cake mix for the blueberry muffin mix.
  • Berry Medley: Add some frozen raspberries or blackberries to your blueberry pie filling.
  • Crumble Topping: Sprinkle ¼ cup rolled oats and/or chopped pecans over the muffin mix before adding the melted butter and streusel topping.
Storage and Reheating:
  • This cobbler is best served when it's freshly baked, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the leftovers! Store covered in the fridge, then rewarm in the oven at 325°F for 10–15 minutes to crisp the top again.
