Blueberry Crunch Cobbler

This is really a delicious recipe, especially when blueberry season rolls around. It is really more a crunch than a cobbler, as is obvious from the ingredients. This recipe would also be delicious made with huckleberries or other wild blueberries. This recipe is from a "Land O Lakes" cookbook that I really love, and have made many of their recipes. This is a very down home recipe, that I think anyone who enjoys blueberries would love, especially with a bit of homemade ice cream, or vanilla custard sauce to top it off. I hope you enjoy!
