Ingredients

Base Batter

  • 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

  1. Prepare Butter Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the melted butter evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan to create a rich, buttery base for the cobbler.
  2. Mix Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the wet ingredients and whisk gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  3. Layer Batter and Sugar: Carefully spoon the batter over the melted butter in the pan without stirring. Then evenly sprinkle the packed brown sugar over the batter, covering the surface gently.
  4. Add Hot Water: Slowly and gently pour the hot water over the batter and brown sugar without mixing. The water will interact with the sugar and butter during baking to create a delicious syrupy layer.
  5. Bake: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly.
  6. Prepare Topping: While baking, mix together the topping sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Finish and Serve: As soon as the cobbler comes out of the oven, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping evenly over the hot surface. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld. Best enjoyed warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
