My MIL lives with us, and she is the official cobbler maker in our house. Here's her recipe - it calls for blackberries, but she makes it with whatever fruit we have on hand, and it's delicious!

June's Blackberry Cobbler

1 Cup flour
1 Cup sugar
1 tsp. Baking powder
½ tsp. Salt
2 pints blackberries
1 stick margarine or butter
¾ cup milk
½ cup sugar for top of cobbler
cinnamon and/or nutmeg (optional)

Sift together dry ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 1 cube margarine in oven in 9x13" pan. When melted, pour in dry ingredients and milk to make batter. Distribute fruit evenly on top. Do not stir. Distribute ½ cup of sugar on top. Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top. Bake about 30 minutes or until done. Puncture crust with toothpick to determine if done.
