Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 ½ cups hot water
• ¼ cup sugar (for topping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan, making sure it evenly covers the bottom.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, then whisk until just combined.
3. Step 3: Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter in the pan without stirring or mixing them together.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle the packed brown sugar over the batter, then carefully pour the hot water evenly over the entire mixture. Do not stir.
5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and mostly set.
6. Step 6: While still hot, mix the topping sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle it evenly over the cobbler.
7. Step 7: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips & Variations

• For a richer flavor, try substituting half the milk with heavy cream.
• Add a handful of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before baking for extra texture.
• If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar slightly in the batter or topping.
• Use almond or oat milk as a dairy-free alternative if needed.

Storage

Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. The cobbler is best enjoyed warm and fresh but can be served cold if preferred.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Cobbler:

• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 ½ cups hot water

For the Topping:

• ¼ cup sugar
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and melt the butter. Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan, making sure it coats the bottom evenly to create a rich base for the cobbler.
2. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until combined. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, whisking gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and ensure a tender texture.
3. Assemble the cobbler: Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter in the pan, but do not stir. Then, sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly on top of the batter. Carefully pour the hot water over the entire mixture without stirring to create the signature cobbler effect as it bakes.
4. Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake the cobbler for 30 to 35 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top turns golden brown and is mostly set in texture.
5. Add the topping: While the cobbler is still hot, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the cobbler to add a sweet and aromatic finish.
6. Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For the best experience, enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the cinnamon flavors.

Notes

• Do not stir after adding the hot water; this layering creates the cobbler’s unique texture.
• Use whole milk for a richer flavor, but 2% milk can be substituted if needed.
• Ensure the butter covers the entire bottom of the pan to prevent sticking and add buttery flavor.
• For variation, try adding chopped nuts or raisins to the brown sugar layer before pouring the hot water.
• Serve warm to enjoy the gooey, soft texture; leftover cobbler can be reheated gently in the microwave.
