Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter

  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into a 9×13 inch baking dish to coat the bottom evenly.
  2. Mix Batter: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and milk. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish; do not stir it into the butter.
  4. Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar with ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
  5. Sprinkle Brown Sugar: Evenly distribute 1 cup of brown sugar on top of the cinnamon sugar layer for an extra sweet, caramelized topping.
  6. Pour Hot Water: Carefully pour 2 cups of hot water over the entire mixture; do not stir to maintain the layering effect.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is set.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For best taste, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • Do not stir after pouring hot water to ensure the cobbler layers correctly and achieves a snickerdoodle texture.
  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for even baking.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity for a more or less intense cinnamon flavor.
  • Serve warm with fresh fruit or ice cream to elevate the dessert experience.
  • This cobbler can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
