Take you favorite, basic from scratch, pie dough. Make a bottom crust for as deep a dish as you prefer. A quarter cup of sugar, per cup of berries. Put in one third. Make a lattice of pie crust, well buttered.Put in another layer of berries, another lattice, and the third and then a lattice on top, sprinkled with sugar.
The crust or pastry is an important part of the pie or cobbler not just as a container. The basic berry or other pie filling recipe, is better than mine, I'm sure. I am trying to go on distant memory.
When GrandMa used a Dutch oven or whatever that big pan was, she often did not put a bottom crust on but still three or more lattice crusts. Fruit dumplings? might be just a variation. Mam would never go to the trouble Grand Ma did. I still remember a black berry pie from 60 years ago. Seems so much better.
