This is the cobbler that granny passed to mom and mom passed to me. We've been making it in our family since the 1930's. We always made this recipe with Granny Smith apples but try it with Golden Delicious for a sweeter pie.

Terri’s Tips:
Use any fruit in this recipe, I love peach and Dennis loves blackberry. Strawberry is good too.
Always select fresh fruit in season. You will need about 3 cups of fruit
Make sure your self rising flour is good, check the date
If you don't have self rising flour use 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt with plain all purpose flour
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, you can even top with a little caramel sauce
Cooking Wiser:
Use sugar free apple juice
Use 2% or 1% milk
To decrease the sugar use ½ cup sugar + 12 packs of sweet n low; sweet and low will maintain sweetness during baking
