A cobbler is similar to a crumble, except that the topping is made from a scone mixture, which bakes on top of the fruit, absorbing some of the delicious juices. It is a lighter pudding overall and it seems to suit summer fruits such as berries, peaches and nectarines. The addition of a little flour to the fruit mixture means that the juices will be thickened as they cook, creating a delicious sauce to spoon over at the end. The sweetness of the dish will depend upon the tartness of your fruit so feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste.
