Easy, Easy Cherry Cobbler

Nothing comforts like cobbler. YTumy warm cherry cobbler, with creamy vanilla ice cream, can't be beat. On this version, you simply top the cobbler with white bread slices ( I know it sounds odd, but trust me) and then drizzle with butter, to make a yummy crust. You can also do this recipe as Peach cobbler, or a berry cobbler, substituting 2 packages frozen peaches, or blueberries, strawberries, etc..
