Cobbler, Crisp, Crumble?
Who cares what it is called, when it comes to any of these delicious desserts. As long as it looks and tastes good. In my opinion, all of them fit the bill. Who doesn’t love fresh fruit topped with a crisp, crunchy or tasty top?
Cobblers
Cobblers have a buttery, biscuit topping. You can make the biscuits from scratch by combining the ingredients and dropping spoonfuls over the fruit. Once baked, this gives the cobbler an appearance of a cobblestone road, thus the name.
Crisps and Crumbles
Crisps and crumbles are very similar. Both start out with a fruit bottom, topped with mixture of flour, sugar, and butter that when baked turns into a delicious, crispy and crunchy topping. However, the main difference between crisps and crumbles is that crisps add oats to the topping while crumbles do not.
