Are you trying to do a bottom crust or a true dough type cobbler? Mention of "crust" made me wonder. My peach / berry cobbler I've posted here a few times, started out as a 3 berry cobbler and I modified it with the peaches. Bisquick and cornstarch are the thickening agents for the filling. If I want berry pie, I use tapioca for the thickening agent.
Since fruit can vary so greatly in the juice department, the amount of thickening agent can really vary as well and you kind of have to guess where your fruit falls on the juice scale.
Berry – Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
Filling:
• 1 lbs sliced peaches
• 1 lbs blackberries
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 to 2/3 cup sugar, depending on your level of preferred sweetness
• 1/2 cup baking mix (Bisquick)
Topping:
• 2 1/4 cups baking mix
• 1/4 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
Spray 9” X 13” baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, toss together all the filling ingredients. Transfer the fruit to 9” X 13” baking pan. In another large mixing bowl, stir together 2 1/4 cups baking mix, 1/4 cup sugar, melted butter and milk with a wooden spoon. With your hands, drop bits of dough on top of the fruit in the baking dish. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the dough. Place the oven at 350 degrees for 30 – 35 minutes and fruit is bubbling.
