Cranberry Pear Crisp

Cobbler, Crisp, or Crumble? What’s the difference, anyway? All three are typically desserts with a filling consisting primarily of baked fruit; but what distinguishes them is the topping. Read more to find the recipe!

A cobbler topping is typically a pie crust broken into pieces or scattered over the top of the fruit filling (unlike a pie, which has a crust covering the whole top continuously, there will be gaps between pieces of crust where the jammy fruit juices can bubble through). Now… crisp vs. crumble: as the name implies, a crisp will have a firmer topping that typically contains oats; which will “crisp” up during baking. A crumble topping will be less dense and fall apart more easily.
