Step 1: Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray

Step 3: Top the berries with cake mix mixture
Sprinkle the cake mix over the top of the blackberries.
Step 4: Cover the baking dish with foil
Cover the top of the casserole dish with aluminum foil to avoid water dripping into the cobbler.
Step 5: Add water to the Instant Pot

💭 Tips
- If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can make this cobbler in the oven! Bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes, or until the cobbler is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
- Make sure that your dish fits completely into your Instant Pot. I used a 1 ½ quart casserole dish by Corningware.
- You can switch out the fruit in this recipe and use any type of fruit that you prefer. Such as apples, blueberries, or even raspberries.
- If a crunchier top is desired, preheat the broiler of the oven. Place the casserole under the broiler for about 3 minutes, watching carefully, until the desired golden color is achieved.
- You can use frozen blackberries instead of fresh berries.
- Use high pressure to cook this fruit cobbler.
- Make sure to allow the pressure to natural release for at least 15 minutes. Then, you can quick release the remaining pressure.
- If you don’t want to use a food processor you can use a pastry blender or pastry knife to blend the cake mix and butter.
