Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 3/4 cups hot water
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter into the dry mixture until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish, then spread the batter evenly across the bottom to create the cobbler base.
- Combine Topping: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and brown sugar thoroughly.
- Sprinkle Topping: Evenly sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the batter in the baking dish.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire surface of the batter and sugar mixture, taking care not to stir, as this will create the caramel-like sauce during baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a cobbler-like crust has formed.
- Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving warm. It pairs wonderfully with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- The hot water poured on top creates a delicious caramel-like sauce underneath; do not stir after adding the water.
- For enhanced cinnamon flavor, consider adding a dash of nutmeg or sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
- Use a 9×9-inch baking dish for optimal results.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
