Whats the difference between a cobbler, a crisp, and a crumble?

Cobblers, crumbles, and crisps are all baked desserts of fresh or canned fruit topped with some kind of pastry. The fruit juices bubble up into the pastry as it bakes, caramelizing the sugars and creating delicious little bites of dessert.

Cobblers have a biscuit toppingalong with the fresh or canned fruit. The biscuits are usually dropped onto the fruit in small rounds, giving it the appearance of a cobbled road giving the dessert its name. Cobblers can also be made with cake batter or cookie dough instead of biscuit.

Crumbles and crisps are very similar - they both contain fresh or canned fruit with a streusel-like topping that gets baked until the fruit is cooked. Crisps contain oats and crumbles do not. In an actual crisp, as in apple crisp or strawberry crisp, the oats in the topping crisp up as it bakes, hence the name. The names are often used interchangeably.

Which Stand Mixer Attachment Should I Use To Mix The Batter?

For this recipe I recommend using the paddle attachment.

Although the beaters on most hand mixers more closely resemble the KitchenAid's whisk attachment, the paddle is right for most jobs on the stand mixer.

The Paddle attachment is used for:

combining heavy cookie batter and doughs
mixing cake batters
muffins
mashed potatoes
quick breads

The Wire Whisk Is Used For Incorporating Air Into:

eggs
egg whites
whipping cream
some candies
angel food cake
mayonnaise

The Dough Hook is used for kneading yeast doughsuch as:

bread
coffee cakes
pizza dough
buns
pasta dough
