In America, cobbler is a dessert dish comprised of a fruit filling baked over a batter that rises when baking. The batter forms pocket like dumplings and a crust over the top. The top layer is biscuit like. Filled with fresh fruits like peaches, apples, cherries and blackberries, cobblers are made year round from readily available fruit, as well as local, seasonal offerings. Cobblers are similar to crumbles or crisps, and are especially popular during the fall holiday season.
There are different variations of cobbler, primarily based on the region of the country from which they originate. Some cobblers are cooked in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop, while others are baked in deep dish pie pans. Cobblers have unique names representing the style of cobbler. These names include The Grunt, The Sonker, A Buckle, The Betty, The Brown, Betty, and The Slump.
