My kids are not huge fans of fruit desserts, pies and such. So I thought I would try this cobbler recipe from my “Best of Country Pies” recipe book that I got from my mom a few years ago. The kids loved this dessert! It was pretty cakey and less juicy/fruity :) So if you are looking for a cobbler recipe that is chalk full of fruit this would not be the one you are looking for, although the cake part is so good, you can always double the fruit part and put a bunch on the bottom, it would be delicious either way!
