With their crusts reminiscent of drop biscuits or pie dough and wonderfully gooey fruit fillings, cobblers make a comforting dessert for any occasion.

Whether you're craving peach cobbler, cherry cobbler, or blackberry cobbler, these old-fashioned cobbler recipes from the grandmothers of six Allrecipes community members will hit the spot.

"This is my grandma's recipe, and I have found none that compare. I always make it with blackberries, but you can use any fruit you want," recipe contributor Vonda Kenner says. Or, take a cue from home cook LHambergh who added more blackberries with "excellent" results.

"This is my grandmother's simple recipe. Only peaches and cobbler in Pennsylvania, no hiding the peach flavor with too many spices," Lynn Pennec says. Indeed, fresh peaches take center stage here, but you can always top off your dessert with a dusting of cinnamon and sugar as a handful of our home cooks have.

"This was my great grandma's recipe from the '40s and earlier. It's so easy to make," recipe contributor st1100pilot says of this five-ingredient peach cobbler. "I remember this being my favorite dessert from when I was a child. This is delicious when hot and served with ice cream or I enjoy it cold by itself."
