Cobblers are a type of dish with many regional variations and different types, and are especially popular in both the US and the UK. This day refers to the dish, which can be sweet or savoury depending on the ingredients, rather than to the person who fixes shoes.
Early cobblers in America were created by colonists from England as a substitute for suet pudding, for which there was a lack of local ingredients. Unlike pies, in a cobbler the filling is poured into the dish first, which is then topped by a layer of biscuits, of the American bread kinds which are related to the British scone, batter or dumplings. The dish is then baked in the oven.
This particular variety of cobbler, because it uses cherries as the filling, is naturally of the sweet dessert kind, rather than being a savoury dish.
