Ingredients
For the Cobbler Base:
- Unsalted Butter (½ cup, melted) – Adds richness.
- All-Purpose Flour (1 cup) – The base of the batter.
- Granulated Sugar (¾ cup) – For sweetness.
- Baking Powder (1 ½ tsp) – Helps the cobbler rise.
- Salt (¼ tsp) – Enhances flavor.
- Milk (¾ cup, room temperature) – Keeps the batter soft.
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) – Adds warm, sweet flavor.
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- Brown Sugar (½ cup, packed) – For a caramel-like depth.
- Granulated Sugar (¼ cup) – Balances sweetness.
- Ground Cinnamon (1 ½ tsp) – The signature spice!
- Hot Water (1 cup, very hot but not boiling) – Creates a gooey, pudding-like consistency.
Instructions
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.
Notes
- 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.
