Let’s celebrate our summer with the best fruit desserts.  Uncomplicated and straight forward, fruit cobblers, crisps and buckles pull together all that we love about summer baking.  Bright, sweet and vibrant berries, peaches, apples and pears are wrapped in buttery dough.  Fruits are baked until they burst their juices while the dough toasts and soaks up their sweetness.  Each a little different, all completely wonderful, these classic desserts with get you wondering why we ever bothered with cupcakes to begin with.

Peach Melba Cobbler Peaches and raspberries are baked under a buttermilk biscuit crust.

Individual Apple-Pear Crisps with Juicy Pomegranate Arils kicks off your early fall baking repertoire with a blend of sweet and tart apples, creamy pears and glistening pomegranate seeds topped with a crunchy, aromatic old fashioned oatmeal topping.

Classic Blueberry Buckle is a fruit laden coffee cake in which the batter “buckles” under the weight of sweet bursting fruit, topped with a buttery streusel and light lemony glaze.

Ginger Scented Apple Pandowdy is a rustic dessert of gently roasted apples with a bit of fresh ginger under an arrangement of buttery puff pastry squares and finished with a homemade caramel drizzle.

Madagascar Vanilla Ice Cream We must round out this class with a super easy, ultra-creamy, no churn ice cream to top off and enjoy with any or all of these delightful desserts.
