What is a cobbler?

A cobbler is a type of dessert that typically consists of a fruit filling that is topped with a dough or batter and baked until the topping is golden-brown. The fruit filling can be made with a variety of fruits, such as berries, peaches, apples, or cherries, and is usually sweetened with sugar. The topping is usually made with a biscuit dough or a thin cake batter similar to a pancake batter.  Cobblers are a popular dessert in the United States, especially in the southern region, and can be served warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
