This recipe has lived on Southern Bite since way back when. Fortunately, as my blog has grown, so have my photography skills. So, I decided to re-shoot this one to give you a better idea of just how delicious it is. I left the step-by-step photos just as they were. Y’all enjoy…
A few weekends ago, we were at my parents’ house for Sunday supper. After her usual over-the-top spread, Mom presented several desserts. Yes, I said several. In addition to the amazing, expertly prepared Oreo cheesecake, this cobbler was something she “just threw together.” Well, y’all know what an Oreo fan I am, but I have to say, this cobbler stole the show. It is, by far, the BEST cobbler I’ve ever had. Not to mention it’s ridiculously easy!
The trick here is to use a box of Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake Mix. And while it’s not always the easiest to find, our local Wal-Mart almost always has it in stock, so hopefully you can find it close too.
