17 Dessert Cobbler Recipes To Make All Year Long
Tons of fruit flavor, but no finicky pie crust? SIGN. US. UP.

When it comes to summer desserts, there’s nothing more classic than a pie. Warm, bubbly fruit encased in a buttery, flaky crust? There’s nothing better… well, almost nothing. There are actually a number of baked goods that we think might just take the crown away from pie, like crumbles, crisps, slumps, and more (bonus: no finicky pie crusts!). One of our absolute faves? Gotta be the cobbler. Whether you’re a master just looking for flavor inspiration, or have never experienced the delight of a cobbler and need somewhere to start, we’ve got recipes here for you. Check out our 17 cobbler recipes for ideas, then get excited—your dessert game just leveled up.
First things first, what is a cobbler? A cobbler is a baked fruit dessert in which a fruit filling is covered by flaky biscuits, then baked all together. The biscuits are usually scattered on top of the fruit filling, giving the overall visual of a cobbled road (hence the name).
Now, what should you fill it with? Though cobblers are great with nearly any fruit you can think of, we have to admit that there’s one in particular we’re especially fond of—peaches! Peaches are perfect for a cobbler because they’re sweet and seasonal, and they don’t completely fall apart when baked (though their skins do, so no peeling required!). Use them on their own, like in our peach cobbler, or pair them with other fruits, like in our peach blueberry cobbler, our Instant Pot blackberry peach cobbler, or our campfire berry peach cobbler.
That said, tons of other fresh fruits are lovely in a cobbler. Try our apple cobbler, our strawberry cobbler, our blackberry cobbler, or our cherry cobbler to see just how versatile they can be, then have fun coming up with your own combinations. You can even use sweet-adjacent veggies like sweet potatoes or tomatoes—our savory tomato cobbler and our dessert-worthy sweet potato cobbler are proof.
