Cobbler
is an American dessert quite similar to pie but much easier to make. It is said
to have been brought to America by the early British settlers; who came up with
different variations of their own traditional puddings; due to the lack of
availability of ingredients. This innovation gave us many delectable
desserts which would have otherwise never been invented.
Cobbler makes a
wholesome dessert, especially when there are seasonal fruits available. This
scrumptious dessert can be quite a mouthful. The funny sounding name of this
dessert is owed to its “cobbler” like shape. It is a thick-crust pie with a
fruit filling especially good with just ripe fruits like berries, apples,
peaches etc.
The crust is usually made up of biscuit or can have a pastry
topping.
The
below recipe uses freshly picked fruits and gives 6-8 eight servings.
