Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Topping and Sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups hot water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan, ensuring an even layer to form the base of the cobbler.
- Make the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth. Then add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, stirring until all ingredients are well incorporated into a batter.
- Add Batter to Pan: Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking pan, spreading it gently to cover the entire surface.
- Sprinkle Brown Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the batter to prepare for the sauce layer.
- Pour Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the batter and sugar mixture without stirring. This creates a rich, syrupy sauce beneath the baked cobbler.
- Bake the Cobbler: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar for the topping, then sprinkle it evenly over the warm cobbler right after baking for extra flavor and texture.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 5 minutes before serving. For added indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Do not stir after pouring the hot water; this is essential to create the cobbler’s signature sauce.
- Use freshly ground cinnamon for the best flavor impact.
- Allow the cobbler to rest briefly before serving to let the sauce thicken slightly.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with a plant-based milk and use vegan butter.
- This dessert is best served warm but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
