MAMA'S FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients together and set aside.
• Place drained fruit in a buttered 8x8 pan and top with bread strips.
• Pour sugar mixture over bread and fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Great topped with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
• Note: I dont usually measure the fruit, I just fill the bottom of the pan. Frozen fruit that has been partially defrosted works great as does soft fresh fruit- harder fruits such as apples or pears should be precooked until softened for best results. Drained canned fruit works great for this too. One large can (29 oz) is a perfect amount.

MOM'S APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a 13x9x2 inch baking dish ( I prefer to use a glass one). Cut shortening into flour until particles resemble fine crumbs. Add milk and stir with a fork only until dough leaves the side of the bowl. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured board or pastry cloth, and knead just until smooth. Roll dough out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch think. Sprinkle cinnamon over chopped apples, then sprinkle apples evenly over the dough. Roll up dough like a jelly roll and dampen the edges with water to seal. Slice dough into about 16 slices, 1/2 inch thick. Place slices in baking dish with the melted butter. In saucepan, heat water and sugar until dissolved. Pour the sugar syrup around the rolls. This will look like too much liquid, but dough will absorb it while baking. Bake for 55-60 minutes.
• VARIATION: This cobbler can also be made with other fresh, frozen, or canned fruits such as blackberries, cherries, or peaches. If the fruit is packed in liquid, drain and substitute for part of the water in the sugar syrup. Add enough water to make two cups of liquid.
