Ingredients
For the Cobbler Batter:
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Brown sugar: ½ cup
- Salted butter (melted): ½ cup
- Ground cinnamon: 2 teaspoons
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
- Whole milk: ¾ cup
For the Topping:
- Cinnamon-sugar mixture: 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Hot water: 1 cup
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Make the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined.
- Slowly pour in the milk, stirring gently until the batter is smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep the cobbler light.
Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
Step 4: Add Hot Water
- Carefully pour the hot water over the batter and cinnamon-sugar layer. Do not stir. This step creates the gooey, self-saucing base as the cobbler bakes.
Step 5: Bake
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
- Let the cobbler cool for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow the base to set.
Notes
- Seal in Freshness: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Warm individual servings in the microwave for 30 seconds or reheat the entire dish in a 300°F oven for 10–15 minutes.
- For a Twist: Add diced apples, pears, or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor.
- Make It Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
