Rustic Cherry Cobbler

This one belongs in a bakery display case. The first impression is all sun-ripened juicy cherry, warm, buttery almond extract, and hand-grated citrus zest. This gives way to a heart of warm, simmered cinnamon, dark, molasses-rich brown sugar, and warm, buttery butter crust, rounding out the opening with warmth. The drydown settles into sun-warmed vanilla bean pod, toasted tonka, and golden amber, anchoring everything above it. Sugared and impossible to resist, it fills a room with the smell of something good in the oven.
