Creeping Crust Cobbler recipe

Creeping Crust Cobbler.

My sister Susan gave me this quick andeasy fruit cobbler years many ago. I made a couple of changesto the original recipe by reducing the amount of butter from1/2 cup to 1/4 cup, and the option of using less sugar with thefruit dependent on personal taste and the sweetness of the fruitused. The dessert gets its name from the fact that the doughfor the crust starts on the bottom and ‘creeps’ up around thefruit as it bakes. (Cobbler in photo is made with huckleberries.)
