Beware of these common cobbler mistakes and you’ll be just fine.

you’re gonna wanna let the cobbler cool and let the syrup thicken.
It’ll be worth the wait.
Aim for slices 14-12 inch thick so that they get nice and jammy while baking.
Mistake: Forgetting the acid
This mistake goes hand and hand with too much sugar.
A touch of acid, like a tablespoon of lemon juice, helps balance the sweetness of the filling.
Without it, your cobbler might taste too sweet.
