Old-Fashioned Cherry Cobbler
This scrumptious Cherry Cobbler is perfect for summer holidays when fresh cherries are in season. It has a delicious brown sugar syrup poured over top of the cherry layer before baking. After the cobbler is baked, cherry syrup remains on the bottom. It is delicious spooned over the top of the dessert before eating.
