I love fruit pies!!  Who doesn't, right?  But, truly I am a sucker for cobbler.  I find it funny that there are so many interpretations of "cobbler", thin crust, biscuit crust, crumble....gahhh too much for my feeble mind. 

Im always looking for a way to improve my cobbler: so this is my favorite rendition for sure:
This is a cherry cobbler..but you could use any fruit you like!

1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk

two small frozen bags of cherries...whatever kind you like. 
1 lemon zested and juiced
2 tbsp flour
3/4 cup of sugar

Add the stick of butter to a 9x13 pan (this is the key I believe to this dessert)
Put this in a preheated (350 degree) oven , just until butter is completly melted.
Mix the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder , milk and vanilla...till blended.
Pour batter on top of butter evenly.
mix cherries, lemon zest, lemon juice, flour and 3/4 cup sugar....

pour on top of batter.  Bake about 35-40 minutes...till it is cake like in the center.

SERVE...must have hot with ice cream!!  :0)  Enjoy.  Let me know what you think.  My belly says it's amazing!!

We are a bunch of monkeys!! That said, we love monkey bread, but it seems we are always fighting over the crunchy sugary bits.  You know what Im talking about!!  So last night we made individual monkey breads and it was a big hit.

These would be great for a brunch of some sort.  I ate three, yes three in one sitting though. 

What you'll need:
 cans of the small biscuit dough..I like the flaky layers...if your using grands...just use two cans.
1 cup of sugar
1 Tbsp of cinnamon
1 pinch of allspice.
1 1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla.

Muffin cup liners.

I cut up the dough into four pieces per biscuit (for the smaller can), do eight for the Grands.
Roll into balls and roll them around in the white sugar, cinnamon and allspice.
Melt your butter in saucepan and add the brown sugar and vanilla...cook till dissolved.   Maybe 5 minutes.
Put six of those lovely little balls into each paper liner.  (about 24)  Top with melted butter mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes...depending on your oven. 

Options:  If you like nuts ...these are great with walnuts....add 3/4 cup of walnuts to the butter mixture...then top the dough with that. 

Enjoy....Have a happy mothers day...
