🔥 4 Tips for the Best Cobbler

1️⃣ ✅ Don’t stir after layering → Batter + fruit will rise perfectly on their own.

2️⃣ ✅ Switch up the fruit → Try berries, apples, or cherries for new flavors.

3️⃣ ✅ Add flavor boosters → A splash of vanilla or almond extract makes it special.

4️⃣ ✅ For crunch lovers → Sprinkle brown sugar + cinnamon before baking.
