What’s the difference between a cobbler and a pie?
I have been asked this question a whole bunch. So here’s the answer. A pie has a bottom crust and a cobbler doesn’t. Now how’s that for an easy answer? Thought you would like that 🙂
Can I Freeze Cobblers?
Yes most cobblers and pies are okay to freeze. Just make sure they are well sealed after cooled in cling wrap and then aluminum foil to keep it even more tightly secured. And for convenience its a good idea to store it in the freezer in what you baked it in so you can warm it up easily.

This is not a true southern cobbler. Fruit cobblers have dumplings in them that are cooked in the juice from the fruit. Then have a crust on top that is coated with sugar and butter and baked. This will suffice in a pinch. But will not take the place of real cobbler.
My mom would also put a crust on the bottom in a big deep bowl. And we all wanted the dumplings.
Can I substitute the fruit in this recipe? I like the kinda crispy crust. I have peaches in the freezer-but no berries.
This is the Easy Cobbler Recipe my family has been using for as long as I can remember and I am over 70.
Can this cobbler be made using almond milk or another such as Dairy Pure instead of regular milk?
I make a cobbler recipe that is called Magic Peach Cobbler and it uses the same recipe. I have also made it using different fruits.
Can I use AP flour? If so what modifications would I make? This looks delish and I want to enjoy it very soon!
You’re right about this not being made out of necessity but out of love for someone. It reminds me how my Mama used to have one made for me when I got to go home for a visit. Now, I keep berries (frozen from the super market) on hand so when our sons come home to visit, I can make black berry cobblers for them.
