Fruit Cobbler Recipes

Cobblers get their name because the topping is dropped over the fruit filling in such a way that it resembles a cobblestone road. Cobbler topping can be similar to biscuit dough, or more like cake batter or cookie dough. Some cobblers are even more like a deep dish pie, with a top and bottom crust.

My favorite cobbler is the kind with a gooey, chewy, sugar cookie kind of topping. The topping is incredibly easy to make and creates a buttery crust over the fruit as it bakes with slightly crispy, chewy edges. Eaten while still warm from the oven, fruit cobbler is the very definition of comfort food.
