Our Best Cobbler Recipes — and Beyond

You could call fruit crisps, cobblers and crumbles "old-fashioned," but that really means they’re classics! They can show off just about anything you've picked up at the farmers market, which makes them ideal summer fruit desserts. Have some cherries on hand? How about a pint of blueberries? Fresh-picked peaches? Whatever you have, throw it into these recipes, and you'll have a homemade treat perfect for everything from cookouts to summer weeknight dinners. Wondering where to start? You can't go wrong with a timeless peach cobbler. There’s no better way to put ripe peaches to use than by baking them in the oven — topped with a buttery biscuit dough!

Cherry-Pistachio Crumble

This classic skillet cherry crumble has the added pop of spice from fragrant cardamom. Finely chopped pistachios give the crumb topping a nice green hue and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with sweet or sour cherries. Serve with pistachio or vanilla ice cream.

Blueberry and Nectarine Cobbler

When adding juicy summer fruit (like blueberries) to pies and cobblers, you generally need something to help the fruit coalesce into a sauce. We love instant tapioca, as it thickens while fading into the background, letting the fruit shine.

Peach & Blueberry Crumbles

These fruit crumbles are the perfect treat all year round. In the summer, when peaches are ripe and freshly picked, you can pair them with summery blueberries. Later in the year, use this same basic recipe to turn out a delicious apple or pear crumble.

The Best Cherry Cobbler

The best cherry cobbler tastes of rich, sweet cherries, has a light, flakey biscuit topping and takes just a few minutes to pull together. In search of the juiciest, most concentrated filling, we tested cobblers with fresh cherries, cobblers with frozen cherries, cobblers with a lot of cornstarch and cobblers with less. The winner was clear: frozen cherries have the lush, quintessential cherry flavor and perfect velvety texture that make cherry cobbler so beloved. Bonus points for the fact that they don’t require pitting and can be purchased year-round. A quarter cup of cornstarch helps set the fruit without becoming pasty. A dash of almond extract and some vanilla bean paste brings out the fruit’s floral side. We covered the cherries with an easy sweet biscuit dough; a dusting of coarse sugar and flakey sea salt are the finishing touches that takes this cobbler to the next level. Note: This recipe also works with fresh cherries. If you are looking to use up your bounty, scroll to the bottom of the recipe to see how to adapt it for fresh fruit.
