what is the difference between peach cobbler and peach pie?

Answer 1

A pie has a shell bottom (pie crust) made out of flour butter (or shortening) and water. It doesn't necessarily need a top. A cobbler has the fruit touching the pan or baking dish with a topping on it normally made from sugars (brown and white) flour sometimes oatmeal. People sometimes even consider a cobbler fruit topped with Bisquick baked together. In short a pie has a crust bottom and can be sliced and served in wedges and a cobbler has no bottom except fruit and is normally scooped into a bowl.

Answer 2

Peach Cobbler Pie

Answer 3

Some people make it almost the same, cobbler in square pan, no bottom crust, pie in a round one.

I make cobbler the way bisquick says, more or less. I get the juicy peach stuff ready, cut up a stick of butter and lay it on top, heat it in the oven. Then I make sweet dough with oatmeal & bisquick, milk & sugar. Then I make a streusel for the top--pecans, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon. I pull the hot peach stuff out and drop by spoonfulls the sweet dough, topped with streusel. Cook until done. It's great!

Answer 4

Cobbler is put into a larger pan, like a cake size pan or larger, and is usually more juicy than a pie. Peach is an awesome pie or cobbler. Pie you slice and is best if not too syryupy, and cobbler you scoop out. They are similiar otherwise, taste the same.

Answer 5

peach cobbler does not have a bottom crust like a pie does. Usually peach cobbler only has a struesel topping. both are very yummy though!

Answer 6

Not much!!! the cobbler is just bigger!!

My next door neighbor always made cobblers with bottom crusts and bits of crust in the fruit.

My mother always made cobblers with butter on bottom, then the batter poured over that and the fruit scattered on top.

My mother in law always made her cobblers with the bits of crust tossed in a large kettle, cooked on top of the stove not baked, with the fruit to make the fruit juice thicken.

Chuckwagon cooks like my granddad tossed the fruit into a buttered dutchoven and tossed biscuit dough on it, put the lid on and buried the thing over coals in the ground.

Pies are formal little things with a fancy crimped edge whether they get full top, no top or lattice top.
