In the United States, cobbler refers to a variety of dishes consisting of a fruit filling (cherry being a common choice) and a batter, biscuit, or pie crust that is then baked. Some cobblers have both a top and bottom crust.
Cobblers were born in the early British American colonies. English settlers were unable to make their traditional suet puddings due to a lack of suitable ingredients and proper cooking techniques. They improved by coating a stewed filling with a layer of uncooked biscuits or dumplings.
A cherry cobbler differs from a crisp as a cobbler lacks oatmeal. Sometimes the cobbler is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
