This Easy Fruit Cobbler is the perfect summertime dessert, bursting with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, topped with a golden, buttery crust! It is quick to put together, but tastes delicious! Add a dollop of whipped cream to make it even more decadent!

Ingredients & Substitutions
- Fruit: The fruit really shines in this simple recipe! I used blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries.
- Yellow Cake Mix: The cake mix acts as the base for the cobbler topping. Using a boxed mix makes this recipe so easy for a sweet, crumbly crust.
- Butter: When mixed with the cake mix, the cold, diced unsalted butter creates a crumbly, buttery topping that bakes into a golden, delicious crust. The butter helps to moisten the cake mix and adds richness to the cobbler. Salted butter could also be used.
- Whipped Cream: You could skip the whipped cream for the topping, but I highly recommend adding a dollop or two to top off the fruity dessert!

How To Store Easy Fruit Cobbler
To store the fruit cobbler, first, let it cool completely. Next, cover the cobbler and store it at room temperature or in the refrigerator. It will last up to a couple of days if left out or up to 4-5 days in the refrigerator. Warm it up in the oven or microwave.
Can I Freeze Easy Fruit Cobbler?
Yes! Freezing cobbler is a great way to keep it fresh to enjoy it at a later time. To freeze:
- Cool Completely: Allow the cobbler to cool completely after baking. This prevents condensation from forming.
- Portion (Optional): If you prefer, you can portion the cobbler into individual servings. This makes it easier to reheat only what you need later.
- Wrap: For a whole cobbler: Wrap the entire dish tightly with plastic wrap, then cover it with a layer of aluminum foil. Make sure the wrapping is airtight to prevent freezer burn.
- For individual portions: Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap, then place the wrapped portions in a resealable freezer bag or airtight container.
- Label: Label the container or bag with the date to keep track of how long it has been in the freezer.
- Freeze: Place the wrapped cobbler or portions in the freezer. It can be stored for up to 2-3 months.
- To Serve: When ready to enjoy, let the cobbler thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Such an easy and delicious cobbler! The mixed berries and cherries are perfectly sweet and tangy, and the buttery cake mix topping complements the fruit beautifully. It's a great dessert for any occasion.
I absolutely adore your website, I love all of the recipes you share and the fact that you use so many of the same products I use from Aldi! I am in the Fort Worth Texas area and Aldi has become my “Go To” for baking staples. The prices for Flour, Sugar, Confectionary Sugar, oil, butter, cocoa, eggs etc. I can get better prices than Sam’s Wholesale most of the time. My biggest issue now is finding time to bake all of the wonderful things you share! Keep up the good work!
