I don't know if this will help but it's a link to many cobbler video recipes with step by step instructions.

The first answer with the recipe should work for you.  I made cobbler for years as the chef at a Girl Scout camp.  Here's my method:
For a large Dutch oven, you'll need approximately 8 cups of fruit (such as sliced apples, peaches, or berries) and 1 box of cake mix, prepared according to package directions.  Yellow or white are both fine.  I find yellow easier to prepare, as I don't like to bother with separating eggs while cooking outdoors. If using apples, mix in 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 1/2 c. brown sugar, and 2 Tbsp. cornstarch.  If using peaches, use the same ingredients but increase the cornstarch to 3 Tbsp. and the sugar to 3/4 c.  For berries, use 1 to 1 1/2 c. sugar, depending on sweetness, 1/4 c. cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp. almond extract, if desired.  
Line your Dutch oven with two layers of heavy duty foil, leaving about 2" hanging over the edge.  Pour in fruit mixture, and drizzle cake batter evenly over top.  Cook for 30-45 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or for an equal amount of time with 12 charcoal briquettes on top of the lid and 12 under the pan.  Test for doneness with a toothpick, as above.
Allow to cool in pan with lid off for about 5 minutes.  Grab edges of foil and lift the whole thing out of the Dutch oven.  Serve straight from the foil, and rejoice in the fact that you won't have to scour gooey fruit out of the Dutch oven later.
