My favorite dessert is a pie but sometimes you don't feel like working too hard for your sweet fix. Cobbler is much faster than making a pie crust. Also, if you don't have the time to make the dough part of the cobbler by scratch, you can simply use Bisquick. The only drawback from using Bisquick is that your cobbler is less crumbly, but still very tasty!

You can substitute the nectarines in peaches.
Adding 1/2 cup toasted old-fashioned oats to the crumble will be great, I just ran out of oats.
I like serving this dish in Petite Pie Dishes. The recipe is good for 5 small Petite Pie Dishes
