National Cherry Cobbler Day is celebrated on May 17, and is the perfect excuse to indulge in this classic dessert. Cobblers are one of the oldest desserts in American cuisine and historically were made with whatever fruit happened to be in season. The word “cobbler” comes from an old English word meaning “wooden bowl” and is thought to have originated from the cobbled-together topping. The earliest cobblers were actually baked in a Dutch oven over an open fire. The crumbly topping of a cobbler is what makes it so special and is usually made with butter, sugar, and flour.
It's hard to determine exactly how much cherry cobbler is consumed each year, but it is safe to say that it is a popular dessert. In the United States, cherry cobbler is a staple dessert in many households and can be found on restaurant menus all over the country.
