Ingredients
Scale
Butter Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Batter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided (1 cup + 1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Add Butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly to form a buttery base.
- Make Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Then add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined to create the batter.
- Layer Batter: Pour the batter carefully over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring, allowing the butter to rise through the batter as it bakes.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the surface of the batter in the baking dish.
- Add Hot Water: Gently pour the 2 cups of hot water over the batter and cinnamon sugar layer without stirring, which helps create a rich, syrupy topping during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set.
- Cool: Remove from oven and allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon sugar topping to introduce a delightful crunch and texture variation.
