Hot from the oven! |
I love fruit cobblers of all kinds, so I was intrigued by this fruit-on-top version from King Arthur Flour. It comes together so quickly and easily but tastes like a dessert from a high-end bakery. This cobbler, with its caramel brandy sauce is sure to delight your palate. Its humble name and appearance belie its wonderful flavor. This cobbler is amazing warm and you can serve it with ice cream, or whipped cream, but we just poured a little cream over it.
Perfect with a little cream! |

Ohh this looks so delicious – I love your cobbler – it sounds fabulous – very different from the cobblers I’m used to in England with the oats and heavy flour!
