There are very few desserts that can simply be thrown together. Most of the time, baking requires precision and patience, and that's perfectly fine if you want to make something fancy. But if you're looking for something easy to assemble that tastes incredibly delicious, nothing beats a homemade cobbler. The best cobbler recipes quite literally cobble together ripe, seasonal fruit and a lightly sweetened biscuit topping to make the ultimate comfort food.
The great thing about cobbler versus pie is that it takes way less work, yet does the same job of letting sweet fruit be the star of the show. And the possibilities are endless, because you can use whatever is in season! Use strawberries or rhubarb (or both!) to create spring desserts, peaches or raspberries (or both!) for summer desserts, and definitely don't skimp on the apples for fall desserts.
Here, we've rounded up all of our favorite cobbler recipes for you to enjoy all year long. There's even one that's perfect for winter desserts, in case you thought we skipped a season. And if you really don't like fruit (it's okay, we won't tell anyone), there's even one that only has chocolate for all the chocolate dessert lovers out there. So what are you waiting for? Grab those pans and get cobbling. Just don't forget the ice cream or whipped cream for serving!

Blackberry Cobbler
This is Ree's favorite type of cobbler, because it is cakey and sweet. Eat it as is (because yes, it's that good!) or go ahead and top it with whipped cream or ice cream.

Blackberry Cobbler Cake
Is it cobbler or is it cake? It's both! Talk about double the fun. A pound cake base gets a scattering of berries over the batter before it bakes and a scoop 0f ice cream after it's done.

Peach Cobbler
Fresh peaches are glorious jewels of summer. This cobbler lets them shine. You don't even need to peel them if you don't want to, which makes this recipe even easier. In the off season, use frozen peaches instead.
