Apple Cobbler Supreme With Creamy Cinnamon Syrup

I looked for the origin of the word cobbler as a food and found that it's really unknown how this dish came to be named. The closest I found to this recipe was English Cobs, apples rolled in dough & baked. How this happened to be in my State Fair of Texas cookbook is anyone's guess.
