It's no secret that we love traditional cobblers, like this cherry cobbler, but when it comes to peaches, there's just something so perfect about the crunchy, crumbly topping of a peach crisp. While cobbler is traditionally made with biscuit dough, a crisp relies on a crumb topping of sugar, butter, and spices, similar to a streusel. This allows the sweet melange on the top to melt down into the fruit and create a delicious blend of flavors.
In both crisps and cobblers, the juicier the fruit is, the more flavor will soak into your crust, and the better your dessert will taste. This makes fresh, juicy Oregold peaches the ideal fruit for summer desserts. Just make sure you remember the ice cream.
