Notes

For the best results with this Sourdough Cobbler, make sure your fruit is ripe and juicy to add natural sweetness and moisture to the dish. Adjust the sugar in the recipe if your fruit is particularly sweet or tart. Feel free to experiment with different fruit combinations based on what's in season for a unique twist on this classic dessert.
