Not your average blueberry cobbler

Look for any Blueberry Cobbler recipe, and most will have butter melting in the pan, pouring batter in and topping with blueberries, then baking. Although delicious, I'm sure (because butter, blueberries and batter cannot be bad in any way), it is more of a blueberry bread pudding type of result. That's just not what I'm looking for in a true cobbler. Especially when vanilla ice cream is involved.

This recipe has ingredients that are in my wheelhouse. And yes, butter is included. Sugar is there. But so is a match made in heaven: CINNAMON AND SUGAR. Cinnamon is like the center of my spice universe...one of those spices I buy in the big jar, you know?

This is the perfect summer dessert. Just have toothpicks handy for afterwards.
