Berry Cobbler-Best Red, White and Blue Fourth of July Dessert

This is my absolute FAVORITE summer dessert is this berry cobbler that I make each summer with berries that I have picked in Brentwood. this summer, I missed the berry picking days because we had a wonderful family gathering for a wedding. So this summer I will use the organic berry blend from Costco. So take my word for it……..For a delicious and nutritious summer dessert try making an olalliebery/blueberry cobbler. We will be having a wonderful afternoon barbecue with family and friends to celebrate the 4th of July. I enjoy these times of fellowship, the beautiful weather and some competitive corn hole games. We will eat delicious bbq turkey burgers, chicken apple sausages, orzo salad, and a green salad with watermelon and feta cheese and I will make this cobbler recipe for our dessert. I baked it in a 9 x 13  pan and when it was cool, I will decorate it like an American flag with blueberries for the stars and sliced strawberries for the stripes.
Here is the recipe:


Ingredients

Fruit filling
8 cups olallieberries fresh or frozen (mine were fresh picked out in Brentwood and then frozen)
2 cups Maine blueberries (I used frozen)
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup sugar
3 Tablespoons flour
2-3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoon nutmeg
⅛ cup butter (¼ of a cube) cut into small pieces

Topping
2 cups oats
1 cup flour
½ cup wheat germ
¾ cups brown sugar
2 Tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup (1 stick) cold butter
½ cup coconut oil

In a large bowl, combine the thawed berries with ¼ cup each brown sugar and white sugar. Add the 3 Tablespoons flour, fresh lemon juice and nutmeg. stir gently until combined. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan sprayed with coconut oil spray or Pam. Place into a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 15 minutes. Meanwhile combine the first 6 topping ingredients. Cut the stick of cold butter into the dry mixture with a pastry blade and when the butter is pea sized, add the coconut oil and mix until crumbly. Remove berry mixture from oven and sprinkle topping on top. Place back into 350 degree oven and cook for an additional 30 minutes until berries are bubbling a bit on the sides. Watch carefully to make sure the topping does not brown too quickly and if it starts to get too brown cover lightly with foil until berries are bubbly.Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. ENJOY!!!
