Difference Between a Cobbler & a Crisp

Have you ever wondered the difference between a cobbler, crumble, and crisp?

A crumble and crisp are often interchangeable, but the actual difference is that crisp toppings contain oats that get crispier.

Cobblers are topped with a biscuit mixture while crumbles and crisps have a cereal or granola-like topping.
