A cobbler (in the food sense!) is America’s answer to the crumble. It consists of a fruit layer covered in a batter mix (a bit like dumplings) which is then baked. There are lots of different interpretations; in some areas, like the American South, they are more like a deep-dish pie with the fruit encased in a top and bottom crust.

What is the best accompaniment to serve with a cobbler?

I love serving this warm with a scoop of good-quality vanilla ice cream. It is also delicious with fresh cream, vanilla custard or even a scoop of clotted clotted cream. Yoghurt also works really well if you want something a bit lighter.

Can I flavour the crumble topping?

You can definitely add your own flavours to the crumble topping. A pinch of ground cinnamon, mixed spice or ginger adds a subtle spiced warmth (and is delicious in autumnal versions using apples, plums and blackberries).

Can I use different flavours of cake mix?

Once you have got the hang of this recipe, you can unleash your inner chef and get creative with a whole host of different cake mixes. I can’t wait to try a cherry version with a chocolate cake mix for full on Black Forest Gateau vibes…
