Cobblers, Crisps, and Crumbles

Fruit cobblers, crumbles, and crisps may be easy-to-throw-together desserts but that doesn’t make them foolproof. With the cost of fresh fruit skyrocketing, we want to ensure that you produce the best fruit desserts. In this online cooking class, we’ll review the vast array of simple fruit desserts—some with names you may have never heard of. You’ll learn how to buy, store, and care for fresh berries, stone fruit, and apples, as well as how to know when frozen makes more sense than fresh. Our core technique videos are all about fruit prep. We’ll show you how to peel and pit peaches—whether one or a whole bushel—as well as how to prep apples for baking. Finally, you’ll bake three classic fruit desserts that celebrate (not mask) the full, deep flavor of blueberries, peaches, and apples.
