How to Make Grandma's Fruit Cobbler

  1. Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup Crisco shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water, mixing until a firm dough forms. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed.
  3. Form the dough into a ball, then cut it in half.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough into a 12x15 inch rectangle.
  5. Carefully transfer the dough to a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
  6. Arrange 6 cups of sliced plums or peaches evenly over the dough.
  7. Roll out the second half of the dough and place it over the fruit. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
  8. Cut 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over the top crust.
  9. Sprinkle 3/4 cup granulated sugar over the butter.
  10. Bake at 350-375°F (175-190°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
