Simple and sweet with cherry pie filling and the great, unique taste of Musselman's Apple Butter. How about a new spin of cherry cobbler?  Today, I am sharing a fun way to eat cherry cobbler as cold individual bars or warm and gooey with ice cream -- you choose!

First thing is first:  Can someone tell me what makes cobbler a cobbler?  How do you distinguish it from a crisp or crumble?  After a quick Google search, I found that there are actually various opinions out there on what defines a cobbler.

Some say cobbler only has one crust.  Others say cobblers are baked with biscuits on top, creating a cobblestone street appearance.  Another says a cobbler is baked in a deep dish.

These may all be true, so I'll decide to agree with every one of them.  What I know is definitely true about cobbler is that it is in the pie family.  That said, it seemed only appropriate to simplify this recipe with using canned cherry pie filling.  Quick and easy!

Because I love love love apple butter, I also stirred in a few spoonfuls of my favorite Musselman's Apple Butter to enhance the complexity of sweetness with the cherries.  Such a simple addition with grand results!  I love using Musselman's Apple Butter as more than just a spread in many recipes.

    Do you make this in a 9 x 13 or a jelly roll pan?
