Ingredients
Scale
For the Cobbler Base:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Hot Water Layer:
- 1 ½ cups hot water
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Make the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish—do not stir.
Step 3: Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
Step 4: Pour the Hot Water
- Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish—do not stir! This will help create a gooey, caramelized cobbler.
Step 5: Bake & Serve
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The cobbler will thicken as it cools.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce!
Notes
- Do NOT stir once the layers are added—this helps create the perfect cobbler texture.
- Use fresh cinnamon for the best warm and cozy flavor.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the caramel-like sauce to thicken.
- Want a little extra spice? Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the cinnamon-sugar topping.
