The Extended Family of Cobblers and Crisps

Fruit and dough—these are the essentials. Combine them in different ways (fruit on the bottom, fruit on top, fruit in between), vary the dough (biscuit dough, bread dough, pie crust, crumbs or crumbled streusel), and you’ve got the whole extended family that includes cobblers, crisps, brown Bettys, crumbles, pandowdies, even shortcakes.
