Tony Claxton's Recipes
Easy Cobbler		    

This recipe is from Favorite Recipes published by the Howard County Junior College District Women's Association in 1988. It was submitted by Patsy Pettitt. To take to pot lucks, I like to triple the the crust and double the fruit amounts. Use a 10x15" baking pan and bake for about 70 minutes if you do this. If you do multiply it like this, the pan will be very full. Also, I like to save out a little of the sugar and sprinkle it over the top, about half way through baking. This gives kind of a carmelly crunchy crust on top.
