What is the difference between apple crisp and apple cobbler?

Apple crisp has a crumbly topping made with oats, butter, and sugar, while apple cobbler has a thick, biscuit-like topping that bakes up fluffy and golden. Both are baked fruit desserts, but cobblers feel more like a cross between cake and pie. If you want to try a crumbly version, this Apple Crisp is a must-bake

Can I use canned or frozen apples for cobbler?

Yes, you can use canned apple pie filling or frozen apples if you're in a hurry. Just make sure to thaw and drain frozen apples well. For canned, reduce the added sugar since the filling is usually sweetened already.

How do you know when cobbler is done?

The topping should be golden brown and firm when touched, and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit topping should come out clean. If the fruit is bubbling around the edges, it's ready to come out of the oven.

Should cobbler be served warm or cold?

It’s best served warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. But it's still delicious cold or at room temperature. I like to eat leftovers for breakfast, it’s basically fruit and bread, right?
