How to Make Classic Snickerdoodle Cobbler

1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish.

2. Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Pour the batter over the melted butter—do not stir.

3. Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
In another bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.

4. Pour the Hot Water
Carefully pour the hot water over the entire cobbler, but do not stir. This will help create a caramel-like sauce as it bakes.

5. Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly. The cobbler will have a crisp top with a soft, gooey center.

6. Serve and Enjoy!
Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

What to Serve with This Cobbler

• Vanilla Ice Cream: The classic pairing.
• Whipped Cream: Light and fluffy contrast.
• Caramel Sauce: For extra indulgence.
• Chopped Pecans: Adds a crunchy texture.

Tips for the Best Cobbler

• Don’t Stir the Layers: This helps create the gooey filling.
• Use Fresh Cinnamon: For the best aroma and flavor.
• Serve Warm: The texture is best when fresh from the oven.

Storing and Reheating

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare the batter and topping separately, then bake when ready to serve.

Can I use whole wheat flour?
You can, but the texture may be denser. Use half whole wheat and half all-purpose for the best results.

What if I don’t have brown sugar?
You can use all granulated sugar, but brown sugar gives a deeper flavor.
