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.

Why are all the recipes these days use self-rising flour? Everyone must have large kitchens with unlimited cabinet space. I refuse to store two types of flour–only keep all purpose flour on hand; guess that’s why it irritates me to see all these recipes calling for self-rising flour.
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.
Can I use AP flour? If so what modifications would I make? This looks delish and I want to enjoy it very soon!
Just add about 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to each cup all purpose flour to get self-rising.
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.
