Pineapple Cobbler

Cobbler refers to a variety of dishes consisting of a fruit or savory filling poured into a baking dish covered with a batter before being baked.Unlike a pie,cobbler doesn't contain a bottom crust.The name 'cobbler' is probably derived by the appearance of a cobbled street look when fully cooked or due to the fact that the ingredients are "cobbled" together.Anyway,I had a fresh pineapple in my pantry and had to finish off and so decided off to bake a 'pineapple cobbler'.Pineapple cobbler is a simple yet elegant dessert that can be baked without much preparation before hand.It tastes similar to the pineapple upside down cake.Do give this a try in this holiday season !!!

NOTES
* You can use all purpose flour too instead of self rising flour.In that case,add a tsp of baking powder too to the flour.
* You can use any other fruits like peach,blueberry,black berry or apples.
* I used only 3/4th cup sugar,it was moderately sweet.Use 1 cup or 3/4 cup as per your sweet tooth.
