Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Cobbler Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until smooth.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
Carefully pour hot water over the top. (Do NOT stir—this helps create a caramelized, gooey cobbler texture.)

Step 4: Bake the Cobbler

Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crackly, and the cobbler is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Spoon warm cobbler into bowls.
Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence!

Notes

✔ Don’t Stir the Hot Water – This creates the caramel-like sauce at the bottom.
✔ Use Real Butter – It adds the best rich flavor.
✔ For Extra Cinnamon Flavor – Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter.
✔ Let It Rest – The cobbler thickens slightly as it cools.
