Crisps, cobblers, crumbles, and buckles are all fantastic ways to showcase fresh, seasonal fruit.  They can be made year-round with apples and pears in the colder months and berries and stone fruits in the summer.  No matter the variety, the fruit softens and  releases moisture in the oven, creating an irresistible contrast to the cakey or crispy topping.  The fruit’s natural sweetness also intensifies, eliminating the need for loads of extra sugar.  https://www.savoryonline.com/articles/buckle-cobbler-crumble-crisp-whats-the-difference/#:~:text=Whereas%20crisps%20and%20crumbles%20are,or%20a%20biscuit%2Dlike%20dough.
