Cobblers are a favorite family dessert in most areas of the South. Damon Lee Fowler, in "Classical Southern Cooking," traces the first printed Southern recipe of the dish to Lettice Bryan's "The Kentucky Housewife" of 1839. The cobbler-like deep dish pie recipe was called "cut and come again." After the 1860s, "cobbler" was the word used for the dessert and recipes for it became commonplace.
Not considered a fancy dessert, the cobbler usually has a thick biscuit-like crust with a filling of fruit. Some versions are enclosed in the crust, while others have a drop-biscuit or crumb topping. Fruit can be fresh, frozen, or canned, and be sure to serve your warm or cold fruit cobbler with whipped topping or whipped cream, heavy cream, or ice cream.
Here's an easy recipe for cobbler. You can create variations of cobblers too.
Peggy's Quick Cobbler
* 1 stick butter, 1/4 cup
* 1 cup flour
* 1 cup milk

Go to recipezaar.com and type in cobbler.
You will get tons of cobbler recipes. Most are super easy with very basic ingredients. Most recipes have reviews that you can read that give you a feel whether it is a 'great' or 'only good' recipe. Some cobblers can be made with any type of fruit.
So I would look for the one that has gotten tons of good reviews, sounds easy.
Hint: If prep time is say 10 minutes, I'd add another 5 or so minutes. I always seem to take longer than their stated prep time.

The best cobblers ever:
Put canned cherries, not pie filling, in a metal 9 x 14 pan. Put it on the stove and heat it to boiling, add 1 c. sugar and 1/2 c. margarine.
Prepare crust or buy ready made crust. Cut to fit pan and put over pie mixture while it's boiling. Turn off burner. Top with butter and sugar, add cinnamon if you wish. Put in oven at 375 and cook until crust is brown, probably about 25 minutes.
For Peach cobbler, use canned, fresh or frozen peaches, not peach pie filling and add sugar, but not margarine, the follow the above directions.
Enjoy!!
