Simple Cobbler Recipes You'll Be Trying All Summer Long
The days are warming up, and visions of picnics and backyard cookouts are starting to come to mind. No great cookout is complete without dessert, and these cobbler recipes are the perfect additions to any summery meal. While pies are tasty classics, cobblers come together quickly with little to no fuss (and are just as delicious).
Instead of making and rolling out a finicky pie shell, cobblers are made in a baking dish with a biscuit-like topping. The cobbler topping delivers all the crunchy, buttery crust goodness you love about fruit pies. The baked fruit filling can be as convenient as a store-bought pie filling, frozen berries, or nearly any fresh fruit you have on hand.
These five Mashed recipes are so easy to put together and will look like masterpieces once they're complete. Whip up a cobbler as a last-minute dessert for an impromptu dinner, or as a fun baking project with your little ones. Once you find a recipe you like, feel free to customize the filling by adding different fruits and spices. Cobblers were practically made to be served a la mode, so don't forget to pick up a pint of vanilla ice cream to serve with your warm cobbler.
