Fruit Cobbler - Bonnie Harris and Polly Colle

Great summer or spring dessert with whatever fruit is in season!   - peaches, berries, apples.  When I was little, we always went to my Grandmother Annie Martin's house for a Mother's Day family reunion.  The cousins and I would go blackberry-picking in the woods by her house, bringing her buckets of berries!  She made some fantastic cobblers and pies with those blackberries.   I don't have Grandmother's recipe, but this is the Colle family version.
