Ingredients

• 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
• 1 1/2 cups hot water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the melted butter evenly in a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 cups sugar until combined. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon; whisk gently until just combined.
3. Step 3: Spoon the batter carefully over the melted butter in the pan, being careful not to mix the layers.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the batter.
5. Step 5: Slowly pour the hot water over the batter and sugar layer. Do this gently so the layers stay distinct.
6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and mostly set in the center.
7. Step 7: While the cobbler is still warm, mix the 1/4 cup sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle it evenly over the top.
8. Step 8: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

• Use a combination of brown and white sugar in the batter for a richer flavor.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base Batter

• 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Topping and Sauce

• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
• 1 1/2 cups hot water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the melted butter evenly across the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan to create a rich base for the cobbler.
2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 cups sugar until combined. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, whisking gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which keeps the cobbler tender.
3. Layer Batter: Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking pan, being careful not to stir or mix it into the butter layer beneath.
4. Add Brown Sugar: Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the surface of the batter to add sweetness and caramelization.
5. Pour Hot Water: Gently pour 1 1/2 cups of hot water over the batter and brown sugar layer. This will create a syrup as it bakes, giving the cobbler its signature gooey texture.
6. Bake the Cobbler: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and mostly set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: While the cobbler is hot, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar evenly over the top for an extra layer of snickerdoodle flavor and a slight crunch.
8. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld. Serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

• For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half instead of whole milk.
• Ensure the water is hot when pouring over the batter to help create the syrup layer.
• This cobbler is delicious served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• Do not mix the batter once it’s in the pan to maintain the layered texture.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
