Thanks. That is interesting. I guess I was correct when I said I made a crisp since I used 1/2 cup sugar, 2/3 cup oats, 2/3 cup flour 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 cup butter. Put it all in the food processor and gave it a few pulses. Whatever it was it came out good. The fruit I used was peaches and blackberries with a little fat free yogurt.

The result is a dense, rich dessert . Not to be confused with British cobblers (made with meat), popular cobbler ingredients include: apples, peaches and cherries. Crisps Crisps also have a bottom layer of fruit, but their topping is much more crunchy than cobblers. Instead of a dough-like pastry that rises, the crisp is topped with a different proportion of butter, sugar and flour that is sort of crumbly, and only briefly browned in the oven. Crisps might include oats or granola in their topping as well. Crumbles The crumble also begins with fruit at the bottom, but is topped with a different butter-flour-sugar mixture called a 'streusel'. The three ingredients are mixed just until crumbly and then poured on top of the fruit. This dish is very similar to a crisp but the crumble originated in Britain whereas the crisp is seen as more American. Crisps are also more rich than crumbles with higher amounts of sugar, butter and flour.
