Storage

This blueberry cobbler recipe is best made fresh the day you plan to serve it. Here's what to do with leftovers:

• Room Temperature: Store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
• Refrigerator: Store in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Store in an air-tight, freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Bake uncovered at 325° F until heated through.

Tips

• Serve cobbler warm with ice cream or whipped cream for the best flavor!
• Adjust the baking time depending on how golden you'd like the top to turn out. Bake it longer for a darker result or less for something lighter in color.
• Allow your cobbler to cool slightly before serving so the filling can thicken. If you serve it right away all those delicious juices may run out when you cut into it!
• Make sure all the topping ingredients are well mixed before transferring them onto the pre-greased 9x13-inch baking dish. This prevents unblended dry spots.
