Description

Crescent rolls top a sweet strawberry and basil filling in this Southern-style strawberry cobbler recipe for a quick and easy-to-make Southern favorite.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups strawberries, hulled
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
2 Bring water, ½ cup sugar, and cornstarch to a low boil in a saucepan, stirring constantly; add strawberries and basil and stir to coat. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cut 1 tablespoon butter into pieces; place on top strawberries.
3 Unroll crescent rolls; tear into pieces and arrange on top strawberries, adding as much as you'd like.
4 Place remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a microwave-safe dish; microwave until melted, about 10 seconds. Brush melted butter over crescent rolls; sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon on top.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, about 25 minutes, covering with aluminum foil during the last 5 minutes to prevent over-browning.
