My Crescent Roll Strawberry Cobbler is one of those easy dessert recipes that we should all have in our repertoire. I top strawberry pie filling with a sheet of crescent roll dough, before baking to golden brown in the oven. This is a quick dessert that the whole family will enjoy.
We all love dessert, but don’t always want to spend hours preparing in the kitchen. That’s where my easy strawberry cobbler comes in. A thick layer of juicy, sweet strawberry pie filling, is topped with light and flaky crescent roll pastry dough, and finished with a simple vanilla glaze just before serving.
Whether you’re preparing for lunch with family and friends, or just seeking some midweek indulgence, this crescent roll strawberry cobbler recipe is a crowd-pleasing dessert that never disappoints. Consider topping with this delightful Easy Strawberry Sauce!
Pie filling – I used cans of strawberry pie filling, but you can swap this for other flavors of pie filling. Try cherry, blueberry, blackberry, apple, apple and blackberry, summer berries or peach.
Vanilla – A teaspoon of vanilla extract can be added to the pie filling for an extra layer of flavor.
Dough – If you don’t have crescent roll dough, you can swap for some ready made puff pastry. Just check baking times on the packaging and adjust accordingly.
Serving suggestion
This deliciously fruit dessert is best served warm, straight from the oven. Serve it with some whipped cream, some warm custard or a scoop of your favorite vanilla or dairy ice cream.
Leftovers – Keep leftover cobbler in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two days. Be sure to cool the cobbler completely before storing to prevent condensation from making the pastry soggy. You can reheat it in the microwave or eat it cold straight from the fridge.
Freeze – It’s not a good idea to freeze the strawberry cobbler after it’s been cooked as the crescent dough will become soggy during the freezing and defrosting process.
FAQs
What is the difference between a strawberry cobbler and a crisp?
A strawberry cobbler has a top crust made with pie dough, in this case a crescent roll pie crust. Whereas a strawberry crisp has a loose crumble/crisp style topping made with loose ingredients rubbed together (often including rolled oats) and sprinkled over the fruit base.
What is the difference between strawberry jam and strawberry pie filling?
A can of strawberry pie filling has a far higher fruit content, and contains significantly less sugar than strawberry jam.
What brand of crescent roll is best?
You can use any brand of crescent roll you find at your local grocery store, but Pillsbury is the best and is always consistent.
What is a substitute for crescent roll pastry?
The best substitute for crescent roll pastry would be a ready made roll of puff pastry. You may need to adjust baking times if using puff pastry, so check the package instructions.
