Cobblers are classic Southern desserts. The perfect balance of a gloriously sweet fruit filling and a golden brown topping, whether made from latticed pie crust or homestyle drop biscuits, makes or breaks a great cobbler. When a hot, bubbling cobbler comes from the oven, you know it's time to grab a bowl, break out the ice cream, and ladle a generous helping—because this stuff goes quickly. 

In our minds, it's always cobbler season, but there's nothing quite like making the most of fresh summer produce with peach, blackberry, plum, and even nectarine cobblers that make summertime a joy to savor. While you can make these summer cobblers year-round if you're craving and committed, seasonal fruits like apples and pumpkin make worthy fall substitutes. From our classic Easy Peach Cobbler to our pretty fruit-packed Patchwork Cobbler, you'll find all the easy cobbler recipes you need to double down on your desserts this year. Make sure to stock up on fruits because you will want to try them all.

Slumps, also known as grunts, are similar to cobblers as they both include fruit covered in a biscuit-style dough. This recipe uses ripe plums and freshly minced ginger to create a sweet, syrupy fruit dish topped with mounds of soft dough. Top with powdered sugar and chopped, crystallized ginger for even more flavoring.

It's hard to beat this classic combination. Fresh blueberries, orange zest, and freshly grated ginger blend into a jam filling, perfectly paired with the flaky biscuit exterior. Save time by using refrigerated biscuits and canned pie filling.

Take your apple cobbler to delicious new heights by adding tart blackberries. The combination of apples and end-of-season blackberries creates the ideal fruit base for the almond-flecked topping. Substitute raspberries or another fruit if you prefer it over blackberries.

A generous helping of this cobbler packed with a combination of sweet berries—raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries—is perfect for any occasion. This recipe is easy to assemble using refrigerated pie crust, but feel free to use homemade.
