Cherry crisps, crumbles, and cobblers are similar desserts but with varying toppings. In a cobbler, the topping is biscuit-like, in a crisp, the topping bakes up crisper, cruncher, lighter and more cohesive.  In a crumble, the streusel crumb topping is more crumbly and less crispy.  The textural differences come down to the technique and the ingredients: -Cherry Crisp: Topped with an oat streusel topping typically made with flour, sugar, oats, melted butter and sometimes nuts. The oats crisp up during baking making the topping crisper and the melted butter creates a more cohesive/less crumbly topping that bakes as a unit instead of crumbles. -Cherry Crumble: Topped with an oat-less crumb topping.  The chilled butter is cut into the flour and sugar until it’s sandy/pebbly to create a streusel before being sprinkled over the fruit before baking.  The lack of oats means the crumble streusel bakes up less crispy, crumblier and cakier.  -Cherry Cobbler: Topped with a biscuit or cake-like topping made of dough dropped directly onto the fruit to create a “cobbled” effect.  The topping is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.
