My mother's cobbler was always made with something that resembled graham cracker-like crust, though I don't know exactly what she used, making it seem essentially like the "dropped pie" model.

Yeah, that's what we usually had growing up.

I would believe that - and google seems to confirm it (even though it means I've been calling my dump cakes cobblers all these years).

Here's a selection of names for items in the family:
Cobbler, crisp, crumble, crunch, betty, buckle, long cake, boy bait, grunt, slump, pandowdy, sonker.

And sometimes the differences are very finicky. Like, a grunt is a cobbler, but it is not baked - it is cooked in a closed dutch oven on top of the stove, so the biscuits are more steamed than baked. In a pandowdy, you roll out the biscuit topping in one piece, and partway through cooking you stop, break it up, and push the topping down into the fruit.

The number of people who care about the differences between your dump cake and a cobbler is small.

You really know your bake.

So, that might be a cobbler, or it might be more a crisp (or a crumble, if oats are involved in the topping).

My wife and I are hobby cooks.

Im great on a grill, smoker, or stir fry wok. Im not a good baker tho. I only do cornbread.

My younger daughter has just gotten into baking. Got me a fantastic blueberry cheesecake for my birthday last week. YUMMY.

I guess if she's going to find a hobby, I'm rather glad it's this one.
