Nectarine cobbler is a summer dessert you absolutely must try. Sweet, ripe fruit topped with a soft, delicate biscuit-like dough. Don’t be fooled by its appearance – this dessert is not a fruit crumble, as the texture is somewhat different. Making a cobbler is incredibly simple and requires no special culinary skills. It's a great choice for a quick dessert for unexpected guests or a lazy afternoon on the balcony.
Cobbler is a type of dessert that originates from America but has gained popularity worldwide, likely due to its ease and short preparation time. Simply put, it’s seasonal summer fruit covered with a ‘biscuit’ dough and baked until golden.
Is a cobbler the same as a crumble?
Although they might look similar, a cobbler is not the same as a crumble, even though the preparation and ingredients are quite similar. A cobbler has a slightly crisp top, but the texture is more biscuit-like – soft and tender. Make this dessert and you’ll see what I mean. Just don’t expect a crumble!
What fruits to choose?
You have full freedom here. Almost any type of summer fruit will work. Opt for peaches, nectarines, blueberries, raspberries, or plums. You can also use a mix of your favourite fruits.
And if you’re a loyal fan of crumbles, try out a gluten-free version. I promise it’s just as delicious as the classic one!
