    Default The COBBLER Thread!

    well, we've done crumbles...

    is anyone a fan of cobblers too?

    I'm quite partial to a plain apple cobbler!

    it's a bit like a crumble, but the topping is generally more like pastry.

    my description isn't brilliant, so if someone else can do better... feel free!

    I must admit, just when I think I'm king, I just begin!

    Ew, even though I'm not sure what a cobbler is, I'm certain I'd prefer an Apple cobbler to a Wee one.

    To all intents and purposes, yes.



    Apple cobbler. Looks like chips to me.

    Wiki says:

    Cobbler is a traditional American baked dish, usually a dessert. It consists of a filling which is placed in a large baking dish, such as a Dutch oven, which is covered by a layer of pastry as a crust. The result is then baked.

    Cobblers are generally filled with fresh fruit, most commonly apples, peaches, and cherries. They can also be filled with meat and vegetables to be served as a main course. A cobbler is similar to a pie, but lacks the bottom crust. They are known to be very sweet.

    Another similar pudding is the British dessert known as a crumble, although the crumble's topping has a somewhat rougher and crumblier texture.

    So it's an American Crumble then (well, ish). The picture certainly doesn't make me particularly keen to try one I'm afraid.

    It's just the yanks trying to re-invent Apple Pie and give it a new name, isn't it?
