Whether a cobbler, a crumble or crisp, no matter what you call it, this recipe is not only easy but sooo delicious! Summer fruits and berries are perfect for this type of dessert and today I’m sharing my version of a fantastic Summer Peach Cobbler with some of those delicious picks we grabbed the other day…
Cobblers get their name because the dollops of batter or biscuit dough which are dropped on top of a bed of fruit puffs up and looks like cobblestone when baked. It was very popular during the 1850s when most streets were paved with cobblestone. Crumbles are baked fresh fruit with a streusel crumb topping. This is usually made with a combination of butter, flour and sugar, with the option to include nuts. You spread it on top of the dish and bake to create dense cakey crumbles. Crisps are similar to a crumble with the exception that the topping is less dense and usually includes oats. The oats will crisp up during baking giving the dessert a layer of crispy crunch.
