Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma was always careful to use the size dish called for in the recipe to allow room for the filling to bubble during baking. She knew fruit cobblers tasted best when served warm with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream as wonderful topping additions.
