Crust Lovers Fruit Cobbler, light buttery and delicious!

If you are looking for a fruit dessert as delicious as pie, you have found it! Crust Lovers Fruit Cobbler is all about the crust! Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the fruit, but if that crusty topping wasn't there, this would only be a pan of baked fruit...which would change the whole direction of the recipe! 


For this recipe, we are calling all crust lovers!

The season of summer fruits is upon us. All around I see and hear people talking about their fruit tree being in bloom. The neighbor down the road was busy pruning out the excess raspberry canes offering them at $3.00 a dozen! Another is offering strawberry plants. And while I do enjoy having a garden, and picking my own berries, I love Crust Lovers Fruit Cobbler even more!

Does this mean you can only make this cobbler in the summer time?

Not at all, we have enjoyed this countless times, enough times in fact to certify that it is also delicious with well drained canned fruit. Your choice, home canned or commercial. Now that I have my rhubarb bed in, I plan on canning up a few pints of rhubarb before the season closes. Rhubarb marries nicely with a handful of strawberries, raspberries or your favorite berries stirred in. 

 

This dessert is easy, delicious, and you can use any fruit you like!

This family favorite dessert is a cinch to make, and once out of the oven only needs a little cooling-off period before serving. It is also happy to share the oven with another dish being baked, nice and cozy. Crust Lovers Fruit Cobbler is delicious anytime but best served slightly warm with a little vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Because at that moment, the crust has a nice crunch that is perfect.

But never fear, it is also delicious the next day, at room temperature or chilled...trust me, none of this will ever go to waste!

Ingredients needed for this recipe:
  • fruit of choice
  • sugar
  • salt
  • whole wheat flour
  • egg
  • butter
  • cinnamon or cardamom
You will also need:
  • 7X11 inch baking pan
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups
  • medium-sized mixing bowl
  • a fork
Now we are ready to begin!

    1. It is easy, one of the best parts! I can only imagine putting a meal on the table with every recipe needing lots of attention...studying vintage recipes, they were often much easier than today's scratch recipes. People were busy then as now, I guess that is what led to so many mixes...

  2. Did you mean for the 1C sugar to be added with the flour, etc.? I would assume so. Looks good and I'm planning on a green mango cobbler now.

  3. So your cobbler is very similar to my crumble, which someone also called crisp! Isn't English a funny language!
