I hate cherries! This recipe was submitted by my mom. She loves her sweets but needed something that was more WW friendly. A take on the more traditional apple or peach cobbler, she decided to use cherries because they are in season and very healthy. If you're like me you can substitute the cherries for apples or peaches. She tinkered around the kitchen until the proportions were just right. Serve with a scoop of vanilla yogurt on the side.
