Ingredients

Scale

Batter Base

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Filling and Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the melted unsalted butter evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan to create a rich, buttery foundation for the cobbler crust. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until smooth. Then gently whisk in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until just combined without overmixing to keep the batter light.
  2. Building the Layers: Spoon the prepared batter directly over the melted butter in the baking pan, making sure to distribute it evenly without stirring. This separation between butter and batter is essential for the cobbler’s characteristic layered and textured finish. Next, sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter to add a rich caramel flavor that will melt as it bakes.
  3. Adding the Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire surface of the batter and brown sugar mixture. Although unusual, this step introduces steam during baking, which helps create a moist, gooey interior beneath a golden crust.
  4. Baking the Cobbler: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs, confirming it is done.
  5. Adding the Topping: While the cobbler is still warm, mix together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the warm surface to create a sweet and crunchy finishing layer that melts slightly into the crust.
  6. Cooling and Serving: Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 to 15 minutes to let the layers settle. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a comforting and indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Do not stir the batter after spreading over butter; the separation creates the signature cobbler texture.
  • Use hot water carefully to avoid splashing, as it is critical for the moist interior.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to ensure it holds its shape when scooped.
  • For an extra indulgence, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheated gently before serving.
