What is the Difference Between a Cobbler and a Crisp?
Cobbler has a soft and tender topping made from biscuit dough or cake batter. Crisps have a crunchy streusel like topping made from flour, sugar, butter, often oats and sometimes nuts. Both of these toppings are equally delicious and each is unique — cobblers are soft, biscuity, and comforting while crisps and crumbles deliver that irresistible crunchy golden topping that pairs so perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I love to pair any crisp or cobbler with homemade vanilla bean ice cream to take it up a notch.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit in a cobbler or crisp?
Absolutely and it works beautifully. Frozen fruit is a great substitute for fresh, especially when your favorite fruits are out of season. There is no need to thaw the fruit before baking, simply add it frozen directly to your baking dish. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the bake time and a small amount of additional thickener like cornstarch to account for the extra moisture released as the frozen fruit thaws in the oven.
How do I know when a cobbler or crisp is done baking?
A cobbler or crisp is done when the topping is deep golden brown, and the fruit filling is bubbling vigorously around the edges and through the topping. The bubbling is the most important sign — if the filling is not bubbling, the fruit has not fully cooked through, and the juices have not thickened properly yet. Let it bubble for at least a few minutes before pulling it from the oven.
Can I freeze a fruit cobbler or crisp?
Yes, both cobblers and crisps freeze well for up to three months. Allow the baked dessert to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil and freeze. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a 350 degree oven until warmed through and the topping has crisped back up.
