What is a cobbler dessert?

A cobbler dessert is any fruit based dessert that is baked in a large baking dish and covered with a biscuit, cake batter or dumpling. They are popular desserts to serve in the summertime when fruit is plentiful and we all are looking for easy desserts!

The best part of this recipe are the light and flakey biscuits, similar to the texture of a scone.  When serving this for Valentine’s Day I like to cut them out in a heart shape, really adds to the charm.  Enjoy!

How do you make a fruit cobbler?

A fruit cobbler is made by combining your fruit of choice with sugar, flour, sometimes lemon juice and spices and pouring this mixture into a greased casserole dish.

Once your fruit is leveled out, you can make the biscuits and place them on top. You could do drop biscuits, round biscuits or pick a shape for a special holidays. Hearts are cute for Valentines Day, but you could also use stars for Memorial Day or 4th of July.
