Berry Cobbler with Pecan Sandie Streusel

1-3/4 c. plus 5 T. all-purpose flour, divided
2/3 c. granulated sugar, divided
3/4 t. kosher salt, divided
1/2 c. plus 2 T. cold salted butter, diced, divided
1-1/4 c. lightly toasted chopped pecans
1/2 c. heavy cream
1-1/2 t. vanilla extract, divided
2 c. fresh blackberries
2 c. fresh blueberries
2 c. fresh raspberries
2 c. fresh strawberries, halved
2 t. lemon zest
1/4 t. ground nutmeg
1 T. turbinado sugar

Whisk together 1-3/4 c. of the flour, 1/3 c. of the granulated sugar, and 1/2 t. of the salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut 1/2 c. of the butter into flour mixture until well blended and mixture resembles peas. Stir in toasted pecans.

Stir together cream and 1/2 t. of the vanilla in a small bowl; add cream mixture to flour mixture, stirring with a fork until mixture is combined but still crumbly. Chill until ready to use.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Gently toss together blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, lemon zest, nutmeg, and remaining 5 T. flour, 1/3 c. granulated sugar, 2 T. butter, 1 t. vanilla extract, and 1/4 t. salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a lightly greased 10" cast iron skillet. Place skillet in an aluminum foil lined rimmed baking sheet.

Bake berry mixture in preheated oven until bubbly around the edges, 20-22 minutes. Remove from oven. Crumble chilled streusel over hot filling. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Return to oven and bake until golden, 25-28 minutes more. Serve warm.

Serves 8.
