Can I make Old Fashioned Berry Cobbler with other fruit?
You absolutely can! Just substitute in three pounds of the fresh fruit of your choice. Just make sure it’s all prepared first (peeled, sliced, pitted).
Crust:
Whether or not cobbler should have a bottom crust is actually a hotly debated topic in some crowds. By definition, no, cobblers do not have a bottom crust. Cobblers have a fruit bottom and are generally topped with a sweet biscuit dough, but can also have a more cake like consistency as well. Some people still swear by having a bottom crust on their cobbler, but it is not a traditional preparation.
Cobbler vs. Crisp:
A cobbler is topped with a batter while a crisp is topped with a crumbly mixture usually consisting of flour, cereal (like oatmeal), butter, sugar, and sometimes nuts. Both are absolutely delicious in their own unique ways.
