In the South, cobbler is a dessert rather than a particular recipe. Essentially it’s a fruit that’s been slightly boiled and then baked with sugar and butter. It may be served warm with ice cream or whipped cream and other toppings.
Cobblers are also referred to as pandowdy and grunt because of the sounds made while eating them. These desserts are so ingrained in Southern culture that they even have their festival: The Georgia Peach Cobbler Festival in Blakely, GA.

Keto Cobbler Recipe: Instructions
Start by boiling the fruit in a pot with some water. Simmer the fruit for a few minutes until it’s soft but not overly cooked. The next step is to mix up your batter and pour it into a dish. This can be any dish. A cobbler doesn’t have to be a specific shape or size.
You can use a square or round pan or even a pie or cake pan. Then you’ll simply place the fruit on top of the batter and bake it until it’s golden brown. You can sprinkle some sugar and cinnamon over the fruit for a delicious topping.
Keto Peach Crisp
Peaches are the most popular choice for a cobbler, so they’re worth trying. Start by peeling and slicing the peaches. You can also use nectarines or plums. Place the fruit in a pot with a little bit of water and bring it to a boil. Simmer the fruit for a couple of minutes.
While the fruit is softening, mix your almond flour, pecan crumbs, and some cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the crumbly mixture into a casserole dish. Once the fruit is soft, you can remove it from the pot and place it on top of the crumbs. Bake the cobbler for about 20 minutes. You can also add some cream and a little bit of sweetener to make it even tastier.
Keto Apple Crisp
Apples are another classic choice for a cobbler, and they go with fall so well. They’re a great way to use up any apples that have grown soft and are about to go bad. If you have very sour apples, you can add a little bit of sugar to help them taste better. Start by peeling and chopping the apples.
You can also use pears or a mix of apples and pears. Place the apples in a pot with a little bit of water and bring them to a boil. Simmer the apples until they’re soft but not overly cooked. Remove the apples from the heat and place them in a casserole dish.
While the apples are cooling, mix up your almond flour, cinnamon, and Erythritol. Sprinkle the sugar-free mixture over the apples. Bake the apple crisp for 20 minutes. You can also add a little bit of cream and sweetener to make it even tastier.
Keto Blueberry Cobbler
Blueberries are classic and delicious, and they’re perfect for a cobbler. You can also use blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, or a mix of berries. Start by washing, cleaning, and chopping the blueberries. You can also use strawberries. Place the berries in a pot with a little water and bring them to a boil.
Simmer the berries for a couple of minutes until they’re soft. While the berries are cooling, mix up almond flour, Erythritol, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish.
Once the berries are soft, remove them from the pot and place them on the almond flour mixture. Bake the cobbler for 20 minutes. You can also add a little bit of cream and sweetener to make it even tastier.
