Fruit cobblers represent one the earliest desserts prepared on special occasion days like fall harvest celebrations which is the harbinger of what we call Thanksgiving Day. They proved popular because they provided a way for poor people to collect often discarded bruised fruit to make a delicious inexpensive dessert. In the British Empire fruit like peaches, apples, and berries were traditionally considered food to be cooked and purchased by poor folks and commoners. The English lower classes essentially prepared two types of fruits: those cooked and those uncooked. The English elites believed raw fruit was unhealthy and caused fevers. As a result, they generally stewed or baked fruit until it was very soft, often using it in pies and tarts. The migration of this tradition is best illustrated by the number of different recipes for cobblers (also called bucklers in Virginia) found in southern cookery. The cobbler was one of the prized dishes baked on the plantation on special occasions like the fall harvest festival. Enslaved Africans adapted the culinary culture of the English as they prepared food for English planters, particularly the English penchant for pies.
