Delicious, this Apple Cobbler is an easy American dessert that you can make with a variety of fruits. Cobblers are a warm and cozy fall dessert that’s so easy to make. Cut up some apples, toss them with sugar, cinnamon, and flour, then place a hunk of dough on top. It turned out so good, I recommend topping with ice cream or whipped cream!

What is a “cobbler” dessert?
The name “Cobbler” comes from the English cobblestone street, because after the dessert is baked, it looks a bit like a cobblestone street (if the stones were pie).
While eating rocks for dessert doesn’t sound appetizing, Cobbler is actually a delicious dish with a fruit base and cake-like toppings.
Best Apples for Baking
When you’re baking any dessert with apples, I recommend using a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Gala, Jonagold, Jonathan, and Golden Delicious. Baked apples hold their shape when cooked, so your dessert won’t have that applesauce texture.
Use baked apples in these recipes!
- American Apple Pie
- Apple Crisp
- Apple Cheesecake Bars
Other fruits available for Cobbler
The Apple Cobbler is pretty traditional, but you can also try cherries, blueberries, other berries, peaches, apricots, grapes, pineapples. Honestly, you have a lot of options!
Fruits that don’t work well in the Cobbler are citrus fruits and fruits with too much liquid (for example, cantaloupe, watermelon, or passion fruit) or fruits with very little water (bananas).
How to Serve a Cobbler
Cook the entire apple pie recipe in a large pan, or divide into individual ramekins (oven safe). They will require a similar roasting time to soften the fruit.
After baking, let cool slightly, then serve the Apple Cobbler on plates or bowls and (optional but recommended) top with ice cream or whipped cream. Gobble it up with a spoon!
storage and reheating
Cover the cooled dessert with plastic or aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven covered with foil (preferred), or reheat single servings in the microwave.
