What Is a Cobbler?

A cobbler is a baked fruit dessert topped with biscuit dough, cake-like batter, or another simple topping instead of a traditional pie crust. As it bakes, the topping becomes golden while the fruit turns thick and bubbly. Cobblers are one of the easiest homemade desserts because there’s no pie dough to roll out.

Tips for Making the Best Cobbler

  • Use ripe fruit whenever possible.
  • Frozen fruit works well year-round.
  • Don’t overmix the batter or biscuit topping.
  • Let the cobbler rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving so the filling thickens.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
