So what exactly is a Cobbler? Cobblers traditionally have a biscuit topping on the fresh fruit. The biscuits are usually dropped onto the fruit in small rounds, giving it the appearance of a cobbled road and hence the name Cobbler.
Happy National Cherry Cobbler Day... and as I always say, everything tastes better with Chocolate!
