The cobbler was originally created in the American colonies. Settlers were not able to bake traditional suet puddings since they did not have the ingredients or cooking equipment.  The settlers covered a stewed filling and added a layer of uncooked plain biscuis or dumplings. As time has gone on regional cobblers have emerged. One of our favorites here at Fresh City Market is the Peach Cobbler. Make one today!
