Ingredients
For the Batter:
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Sauce Base:
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until fully incorporated. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently to create a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spread the batter evenly into the greased baking dish using a spatula. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the batter.
- Add the Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the batter and sugar mixture. Do not stir. This step is key to creating the gooey, caramel-like sauce as the cobbler bakes.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps the sauce settle and makes it easier to scoop.
Notes
- Use Fresh Cinnamon: Fresh spices will elevate the flavor of this dessert.
- Pour Water Gently: To maintain the layers, pour the water over the back of a spoon to distribute it evenly.
- Serving Suggestion: Enjoy the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
