Cobbler is a very popular traditional dessert in the United States, especially in the South, where it is enjoyed year-round, although it is common to see it at celebrations and family gatherings. Its origin dates back to the first British settlers who arrived in North America, who adapted their pie and pastry recipes to the ingredients available in the new continent. In Latin America, although it is not so common to find it under the name "cobbler," there are similar desserts known as "crumble" in some regions or simply as "baked fruit cakes." The combination of fruit with a baked sweet dough topping is a shared tradition that varies according to the fruit and local ingredients.
This dessert is usually made with fresh or canned fruit and is often served with ice cream or cream to balance the texture and flavor. One of the most original and tasty versions is pear with cheddar cheese, which incorporates a salty touch that contrasts with the sweetness of the fruit, making this dish a unique and delicious culinary experience.
