Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Topping:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the melted butter in a 9×13 baking pan to coat the bottom evenly.
- Mix the Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Spoon the batter over the melted butter in the baking pan. Be careful not to mix the batter and butter together; just let the batter sit on top.
- Evenly sprinkle the packed brown sugar over the batter. This will create a delicious, caramelized layer as it bakes.
- Gently pour the hot water over the entire mixture. This might seem unusual, but it helps create the cobbler’s unique texture.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and mostly set. The top should be crisp, and the center should be slightly gooey.
- Add the Topping:
- While the cobbler is baking, mix together the topping sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Once the cobbler is done baking, immediately sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the hot cobbler for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top
Notes
- Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor. Whole milk provides a richer texture, but you can use any milk you prefer. Fresh, high-quality cinnamon will make a big difference in flavor.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter until just combined to avoid a tough texture.
- Hot Water: Pouring hot water over the batter may seem strange, but it’s essential for creating the cobbler’s unique texture.
- Serving Suggestions: This cobbler is best served warm, straight from the oven. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top makes it even more delicious. If you have leftovers, reheat individual servings in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy it warm again.
