Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Unsalted butter | ½ cup |
| All-purpose flour | 1½ cups |
| Granulated sugar | ¾ cup |
| Baking powder | 2 teaspoons |
| Salt | ¼ teaspoon |
| Whole milk | 1 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Ground cinnamon | 1½ teaspoons |
| Light brown sugar | 1½ cups |
| Hot water | 1¾ cups |
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Butter
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it in the oven until completely melted. Remove the dish from the oven and set aside.
Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
Step 3: Prepare the Batter
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and no large lumps remain.
Step 4: Add the Batter
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir—the layers should remain separate.
Step 5: Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Layer
In a small bowl, stir together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not mix.
Step 6: Add the Hot Water
Carefully pour the hot water over the entire surface of the cobbler. Pour slowly to avoid disturbing the layers. As the cobbler bakes, the water will help create a rich, syrupy sauce beneath the crust.
Step 7: Bake
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is set.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve warm and enjoy the sweet cinnamon flavor and rich caramel-like sauce in every bite.
