Ingredients

Scale

Base Batter

  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk

Topping

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Additional

  • 2 cups hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into a 9×13 inch baking dish, ensuring it covers the base evenly to create a rich, gooey foundation for the cobbler.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and milk until the mixture is smooth. Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, covering it evenly without stirring.
  3. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar evenly over the batter to form a sweet, spiced crust.
  4. Add Brown Sugar: Evenly distribute the brown sugar over the cinnamon layer. This sugar will caramelize during baking, creating a rich, sweet topping.
  5. Pour Hot Water: Slowly and carefully pour the hot water over the entire mixture without stirring. This step creates layers that result in a gooey bottom and a fluffy cobbler top.
  6. Bake the Cobbler: Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
  7. Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Pour hot water carefully to avoid mixing the batter and the layers.
  • The cobbler can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  • Allow cobbler to cool slightly for the best texture before serving.
  • Use fresh cinnamon for optimal flavor.
