Fresh Southern Peach Cobbler

The easiest cobblers are simply made of fruit topped with a thick batter or with spoonfuls of biscuit dough. Biscuit-topped cobblers look like cobblestones after they're baked, hence the name. Our most popular peach cobbler showcases fresh Georgia peaches topped with homemade drop biscuit batter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

"Oh my gosh…this is an outstanding recipe. My daughter and I picked blueberries this morning and I made it tonight. My family devoured it. My husband happened to accidentally drop his second helping on the floor and I thought he was going to cry. Vanilla ice cream on top is the way to go. Thanks for the recipe!! I will make again and again!" —MOMZRIGHT

The Ultimate Berry Crumble

A crumble is just like a crisp with it's oat/butter/sugar topping, but for this version, you'll add egg yolks to enrich the crumble, press half of the mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, spread the berries over it, top with the remaining crumble, and bake. Home cook sara says, "I can't tell you how many crisps, crumbles and cobblers I've made over my 40+ years in the kitchen – but believe me when I tell you this one is the ultimate."

Rhubarb Strawberry Crunch

This classic sweet/tart combination of strawberries and rhubarb is baked under a crunchy lid of oats, butter, and brown sugar. Many reviewers added more fruit, tweaked the amount of topping, and adjusted the sugar to suit their tastes — but this is the sort of customizable recipe that you can easily make your own.
Fresh Cherry Cobbler

Fresh cherries are a must for this fruity cobbler. Yes, it's a bit time-consuming to pit cherries, but that's what lazy summer days are for. Good thing the batter comes together in a snap. Doughgirl18 baked hers with sliced almonds over to top, and and served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a big dollop of whipped cream.

It's worth braving the blackberry brambles to pick enough to make this easy, batter-topped cobbler. "We love it!" raves abapplez. "I have had biscuit-type cobblers, cake-type cobblers, and pie crust (I know…not really a cobbler but my Mamaw called it that so….to me it was a cobbler) type cobblers. This is almost a mixture of all three! And it is delicious. Hubby took one bite and said, 'just like my mom's!'"
