Ingredients

For the Cobbler:

  • 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
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar packed
  • 1 ½ cups hot water

For the Topping:

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven:

  • Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.

Prepare the batter:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, whisking until just combined.

Assemble the cobbler:

  • Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter without mixing. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the batter. Carefully pour the hot water over the entire mixture—do not stir.

Bake:

  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and mostly set.

Add the topping:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the hot cobbler right after baking.

Cool and serve:

  • Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
