My grandma made the most amazing blackberry cobbler in the world!
and just like Mama said, there's a crust on top, and cooked fruit underneath. Sometimes the crust rises, but others (like Grandma's) had the topping put directly on the top. In any sense, it's one of the greatest desserts, I think. They're always best, still hot, with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream on top.
That said, here's probably the easiest "cobbler" if you want to try something quick: http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f40/quickie-peach-cobbler-12105.html

I don't know about you, but that one sounds really tasty on this nice June day!

Hi Messers,
There are 2 types of "cobblers" - a savoury one and a sweet one.
Each consists of 2 layers.
Savoury one - which uses a rich mince/ground beef/other meat or vegetable stew as the base upon which one places scones and bakes.
A sweet one, which requires a base of stewed fruit upon which one places scones and bakes.
Nothing could be simpler!

1. A guy or gal who makes shoes.
no Kidding.2. From Webster's - 1: a mender or maker of shoes and often of other leather goods2archaic : a clumsy workman3: a tall iced drink consisting usually of wine, rum, or whiskey and sugar garnished with mint or a slice of lemon or orange4: a deep-dish fruit dessert with a thick top crust.
I believe number 4 is what you are looking for. Cobblers usually have some type of fruit on the bottom, such as cherry, peaches, apple, etc. Then, a pastry crust is made on top of that, made flour, sugar, egg, salt, water, vanilla, and sometimes spices such as nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, etc.
A crisp is simialr to a cobler, but with a crumbled top crust made usually from flour, sugar, salt, water, vanilla, and sometimes spices such as nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, etc. It is mixed with oil, lard, shortening, or butter and often broken walnuts or pecans, and then crumbled and sprinkled over the fruit and baked together.
A Betty (brown betty) is made from baked fruit, breadcrumbs, and spices. It is reffered to as a pudding in the British use of the word, which is like a pie with no top-crust, or like bread pudding.
Ahh rats! or should I say TattRat! I just looked at all of the postings in this thread. Seems Tatt beat me to Webster's.

I think the sweet variety is what's most common in the USA, and people in the UK a type of pie known as a cobbler (which would be the savory one), though most people in the US wouldn't consider a "cobbler". (And I suppose that UK residents wouldn't consider a sweet cobbler a cobbler.
