The cobbler gets its name from the famous cobble stoned streets of Europe, as the finished product has a cobbled appearance.
It essentially is a rustic dessert made of fruit topped with a sweet pastry dough, it is then baked till the fruit is soft and gives off its juices, and the pastry is baked and golden.
