More About This Recipe

  • Some food historians say that the term “cobbler” came from Westward-heading Americans who “cobbled” together this fruit dessert in Dutch ovens and cooked it over open campfires. Another story says it was named for the way the baked dough on the top of the dessert looks just like a cobblestone street. No matter the origins of its name there’s no denying that blackberry cobbler is a delicious dessert. Cobbler has been a home cook favorite for so long that variations of the dish (see Betty's Best Blackberry Crisp and Cobbler Recipes to see our top picks!) are known by a number of different names all across the country, including grunts, pandowdy and slumps in New England, or the whimsically named sonker, a deep-dish cobbler found in North Carolina.
