This isn’t your average cobbler recipe, but it is probably one of the easiest ones you can find. Instead of a layer of fruit, you’ll find a buttery sauce that makes itself (!!) while the cobbler is baking. The topping is similar to warm, fluffy snickerdoodles, making it the best parts of a cookie and a cobbler combined.
