❓Cobbler vs crisp vs crumble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let’s answer the age-old question, what the heck IS a cobbler<\/strong>, and how is it different from a crisp or a crumble? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we were to make a dessert family tree, I would say that cobblers, crisps, and crumbles belong to the PIE branch of the family because they all involve a fresh fruit base and some kind of buttery, carb-based topping. However, they’re significantly faster and easier than most pie recipes<\/a>, and they are often made in a casserole pan to serve family style–perfect for feeding a crowd on a lazy Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dish<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So that’s what they have in common. As to the differences? It’s all in how you top the fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n

How the Toppings Differ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cobblers are traditionally made with a biscuit topping.<\/strong> Now, that can be very literal (think round biscuits cut out and placed precisely on the fruit) or a more casual interpretation, like this recipe–a buttermilk biscuit-inspired topping that’s plopped willy-nilly on top…or, some might say, cobbled together. (theatrical wink<\/em>) Cobblers<\/a> can also be made with a softer, more cake-like topping–some recipes even use a cake mix!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crisps are made with an oat-based<\/a> streusel<\/strong>. It’s typically scattered on top of the fruit in clumps, and bakes up buttery and crisp–hence the name. If you’re looking for a killer crisp recipe, this Brown Butter Skillet Peach Crisp<\/a> is a must-make for my family every year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crumbles are also made with a streusel topping, but without the oats<\/strong>. In this case, the topping is usually a combination of butter, sugar, flour, and spices like cinnamon. My favorite Blueberry Crumble Pie recipe<\/a> includes almonds<\/a> in the streusel topping to provide a nice crunch. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
