Fresh plums, which are typically most available June through October, make excellent desserts among them one of my favorites the American cobbler.

What is Plum Cobbler? A simple fruit cobbler that combines a rich plum base with crumbly semi-sweet biscuit dough. These ingredients are topped with a tangy-sweet glaze. This easy-to-make dessert is a popular summertime treat. Other popular varieties of cobbler include peach, cherry, and apple. If you’re looking for a quick, easy recipe, you’ll love plum cobbler.
