Ingredients

Scale

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). Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until combined. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, stirring gently just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter without stirring. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the batter. Carefully pour hot water over the entire mixture without stirring.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top turns golden brown and is mostly set.
  5. Add the Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Immediately after baking, sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture over the hot cobbler.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and milk for a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender cobbler texture.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping after baking to prevent burning.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture; reheat if needed before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze wrapped tightly for up to 2 months; thaw in refrigerator before reheating.
  • Reheat in oven at 350°F (175°C) covered with foil for 15-20 minutes, or microwave in short intervals.
