17 Unbelievably Good Fruit Crumble, Crisp And Cobbler Recipes

September 28, 2023 Chatelaine

These simple crumbles, crisps and cobbler recipes give you all the juiciness and aroma of a pie without the hassle of preparing pastry—and they’re the perfect pairing for a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Even better, they’re some of the best desserts you can make when all the gorgeous fresh peaches, plums and berries you’ve been buying by the basketful start to get a little soft. (It happens to all of us—but there are plenty of ways to use overripe fruit, so don’t throw it out!)
