Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. 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:
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Whisk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Assemble the Cobbler:
  1. 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.
  2. Evenly sprinkle the packed brown sugar over the batter. This will create a delicious, caramelized layer as it bakes.
  3. Gently pour the hot water over the entire mixture. This might seem unusual, but it helps create the cobbler's unique texture.
  4. 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:
  1. While the cobbler is baking, mix together the topping sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  2. Once the cobbler is done baking, immediately sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the hot cobbler for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.
  3. 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.
