Description
To master this baking project, it helps to understand what defines an authentic Cherry Cobbler with Frozen Cherries and how it differs from other rustic fruit desserts like crisps, crumbles, or pies. A cobbler earns its unique name because the dollops of batter or biscuit dough dropped onto the fruit filling bake up into a bumpy, uneven surface that resembles a rustic cobblestone street.
