Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Topping and Assembly

  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
  • 1 ½ cups hot water
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan, ensuring it covers the entire base.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking pan. Do not stir or mix with the butter. Next, evenly sprinkle the packed brown sugar over the batter. Carefully pour the hot water over the entire mixture without stirring.
  4. Bake: Place the baking pan into the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the batter is mostly set. The cobbler will bubble as it cooks, creating a deliciously gooey layer underneath a light crust.
  5. Add the Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Immediately after removing the cobbler from the oven, sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the hot surface.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly for easier serving. For best enjoyment, serve warm topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Do not stir the batter once it is poured over the melted butter; this helps create the signature cobbler texture.
  • Use hot water when pouring over the brown sugar and batter to activate the bubbling effect during baking.
  • Serving with vanilla ice cream enhances the dessert’s warm cinnamon flavors.
  • Ensure your baking pan is 9×13 inches for proper layering and baking time.
