I'll be honest with you! There's nothing more satisfying, than a nice portion of fresh fruit cobbler, even in the fall, which happens to be a plum cobbler. So beautiful, and robust color, the sweetness is totally divine. Just a touch of cinnamon and sugar, really livens up the flavors, it's so irresistible! |
Just look at the natural colors, and the flaky homemade biscuit topping. Easy to prepare, yet it's so elegant! |
