How To Make It
Feel free to scroll down to the recipe card if you want. But first, I’m going to answer some common questions about this recipe. I’ll also share some really helpful tips.
What is a Cobbler?
A cobbler is a fruit dessert that contain a pie-crust or biscuit-type topping. It’s usually baked in a deep dish, which is why a Dutch oven is perfect for it.
This is what makes cobbler different from a crumble. A crumble’s topping usually consists of oats, sugar and butter. Cobbler, on the other hand, is a much thicker crust – making for a more luscious dessert.
Can I Use Any Fruit for Cobblers?
From experience, I find that berries and stone fruit are the best to use for cobblers. This is because they attain that “jammy” consistency once baked – and won’t necessarily ooze, gooze, and slime while it’s cooking.
Can I Bake it In A Different Dish?
Yes, you can bake a cobbler in a round pie plate, square cake pan, or even a cast iron skillet. The dish you use won’t change the taste or texture of the cobbler.
