I remember my grandmother baking when I was a kid. She'd make wonderful cinnamon rolls, coffee cakes, and this simple, quick cobbler. I always loved watching the butter melt in the oven. And the quick sizzle when she'd pour the batter into the hot butter afterwards.

Now, this isn't the type of cobbler that uses biscuit dough or looks like a cobbled together pie. It's closer to what some might consider a buckle: a cake-like dessert with fruit that buckles on top. It also appears as a southern variation on cobbler, which is appropriate given that my grandmother lived in Texas.
