Where all the food groups are represented
I love cobbler. When I was a kid, summer started when my Mommaw pulled the season’s first huge, bubbling, lattice-topped baking dish of peach cobbler out of the oven. She would let me eat it as hot as I could stand it, with a huge scoop (or two) of Breyers Natural Vanilla. And when I spent the night at her house, instead of oatmeal or scrambled eggs or Shredded Wheat, she’d let me eat peach cobbler for breakfast, saying, “It’s got all the food groups: fruit, flour, and fat.”
So, I bent the rules a little on this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe, mixed berry cobbler, chosen by Beth of Our Sweet Life. I used Dorie’s filling (five cups of frozen berries, plus sugar, lemon zest, and cornstarch), but instead of her biscuit topping, I substituted my grandmother’s pie crust on the top and bottom. It gave me an excuse to try a lattice top for the first time. And it will make an excellent breakfast.
Nice pie! I’ve never done lattice myself. I may have to try it.
that is a mean first lattice! this looks sensational!
Awesome - all the food groups indeed. And that’s one fine lattice crust, I must say.
Haha, I love the food groups. That’s great. Your pie/cobbler is BEAUTIFUL! I would definetely be up for that for breakfast! :)
Where I’m from cobbler has a much more densely covering top - yours is, indeed, practically health food by comparison.
Your cobbler looks beautiful! I love the lattice crust.
that lattice looks fab!!! Yum!
It looks huge and delicious :)
My grandma would give us whatever we wanted for breakfast. She read somewhere that your body didn’t know what time it was. Grandmas are the best!
I ate mine for breakfast too… but I can assure you it did not look nearly as beautiful as yours!
I love the lattice! Your cobbler looks absolutely fabulous!
Your cobbler looks so wonderful with the lattice top. You know, I ate cobbler for breakfast too.
Beautiful lattice top…I like mowmaw’s food groups!
That is really one terrific looking ‘piebler.’ And nice story too!
Great looking cobbler containing all the food groups ;-)
GORGEOUS!!!
Jeez, that looks so darn pretty!!! You rule breaker, you! ;-)
I like your grandma’s take on the four food groups, I happen to agree with her wholeheartedly!
So pretty…great choice!
Looks great!!
Yum–that looks delicious. You know, with all the baking I’ve done, I’ve never done a lattice top either!
That looks professional!!! That lattice top is amazing- I’m so jealous that I didn’t get to eat it!
wow, your first attempt at a lattice top looks professional! Great job and gorgeous pictures!
That looks fabulous! I love the idea of a lattice top cobbler.
YES! I’m beginning to think we’re long-lost relatives or something. Yesterday I wrote a post about how cobblers as I know them always have lattice tops of pie crust, rather than biscuits:

For me, it was Mamo who pulled out those lattice-topped peach cobblers. I’d swear you grew up in Texas.
Love the lattice work! Looks delicious!
Your grandmother sounds terrific, and that cobbler . . . yum!
mmm, my mouth is watering over your pics! the lattice is so pretty :)
Oh, I would have that for breakfast, most definitely! Looks delicious!
That looks AMAZING! The lattice looks fantastic. Great job!
Now THAT’S a cobbler!!! I’m lovin’ the lattice!!!
Beautiful. And as someone who can’t have dairy in the morning, i wholeheartedly second your Mommaw’s sentiment!
Very pretty lattice! Great job!
Oh my gosh! Yum! Looks wonderful, great pictures too.
Wow, that’s absolutely gorgeous with the lattice pastry!

I’m itching to do a lattice top pie. Yours looks heavenly, and truth be told I much prefer crisp or pie over cobbler. Looks wonderful, as always.
Nicely done. I think it looks absolutely beautiful!
OMG! That looks simply gorgeous! I love the lattice top!
Looks great! I love blackberry pie! :D
OMG, if I could reach through the screen and eat your cobbler I would! It looks so good.
That looks beautiful!
My mom used to let me eat cake for breakfast - best breakfast ever was her orange cake with buttercream . Your coobler/tart looks amazing.
I am so-ooooo making your Mommaw’s lattice crust the next time I want pie for breakfast. Fruit, flour and fat… I love her logic!
Looks fantastic - you could call it cob-pie - what’s particularly nice is that most of the other BB’s had more crust than filling and yours is just the reverse…I think I like it much better this way.
Love your lattice top! I introduced my husband to the idea of pie for breakfast — apparently it wasn’t considered proper in his family (I’m corrupting him!) We had cobbler for breakfast, too!
