A cobbler is a baked dessert of fruit topped with a layer of biscuit, cake, or pastry dough, rather than a bottom crust, which is what sets it apart from a pie. Peaches, berries, and apples are the most common fillings in American versions, though in British cooking a cobbler is often a savory dish, such as a vegetable or meat filling under a scone topping. Cobbler is frequently confused with crisp and crumble, which use a streusel-style topping of butter, flour, and sugar rather than a biscuit or dough. It's typically served warm, often with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
