This weekend while visiting my in-laws for a very quick day trip, we gathered up the last few blackberries on their bushes to bring home and mix up a batch of cobbler.  Mr. Deaton (a sweet friend of my husband's parents, and undoubtedly one of the nicest men you'll ever meet), helped my kids and me pick every berry we could find.  While we were chatting he mentioned his mother's favorite recipe for Blackberry Cobbler. . .  and if you knew Mr. Deaton, you'd know I just had to try it.
Here's the best part:  Mr. Deaton told me that when he makes the recipe himself, he just used a Pillsbury Pie Crust instead of mixing up a fresh pie crust from scratch . . . WOOHOO!  That meant I didn't have to stress over creating and rolling out the pie dough, but I'd still make a cobbler *almost* as good as his mom's (which worked out just fine for me.)  If you'd love some yummy cobbler but might enjoy a lazy way to get there, here you go.  (Doesn't lazy just sound wonderful?)
