There are many types of classic baked fruit desserts that resemble pie without a bottom crust. While cobbler has a biscuit-type topping baked over a fruit filling, crumble usually has a streusel-type topping. Cobbler is a British dessert, and over time has been adapted in some regions to have more of a cake-like topping made from a pourable batter. If you prefer this type of topping, use 1 cup of milk for a thinner batter.
