Cobblers are classic Southern desserts. The perfect balance of a gloriously sweet fruit filling and a golden brown topping, whether made from latticed pie crust or homestyle drop biscuits, makes or breaks a great cobbler. When a hot, bubbling cobbler comes from the oven, you know it's time to grab a bowl, break out the ice cream, and ladle a generous helping—because this stuff goes quickly. 

In our minds, it's always cobbler season, but there's nothing quite like making the most of fresh summer produce with juicy peach, blackberry, plum, and even nectarine cobblers that make summertime a joy to savor. While you can make these summer cobblers year-round if you're craving and committed, seasonal fruits like apples and pumpkin make worthy fall substitutes. You'll find all the easy cobbler recipes you need to double down on your desserts this year. Make sure to stock up on fruits because you will want to try them all.
