This is a simple country-style dessert that can be made with almost any fruit - apples, peaches, cherries, pears. Cobblers are nice and easy since you just top the fruit with sweet biscuit dough and toss it in the oven! These biscuits are made with cream so are extra decadent but feel free to use milk. Note: The main photo shows a cherry cobbler but in the steps I show an apple cobbler :)

Background: Desserts like this would sometimes show up at my grandma's house or friends house! I never had the chance to learn how to make it from anyone so I adapted the recipe from Alice Waters classic peach cobbler recipe.
