Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Coating:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Wet and Other Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, preparing a 9×13-inch baking dish by generously coating the bottom with melted butter.
- Create a smooth batter by whisking milk, vanilla extract, and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
- Incorporate flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon into the liquid mixture, stirring until just combined and avoiding overmixing.
- Gently distribute the batter across the butter-lined pan, ensuring an even layer without disturbing the butter underneath.
- Liberally scatter brown sugar over the surface of the batter, creating a sweet crumbly layer.
- Carefully drizzle hot water across the entire dish, allowing it to settle naturally without stirring.
- Transfer the unbaked cobbler to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top transforms into a golden-brown, slightly firm texture.
- While baking, quickly combine additional sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl for the final topping.
- Once removed from the oven, immediately dust the warm cobbler with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Allow the dessert to rest and slightly cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally accompanied by a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic indulgent experience.
Notes
- Prevent Over-Mixing: Whisk the batter gently until just combined to maintain a light, tender texture without developing tough gluten strands.
- Temperature Matters: Use room temperature milk and butter for even mixing and consistent baking results.
- Customize Sweetness: Adjust sugar levels by reducing or increasing amounts to suit personal taste preferences.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Swap wheat flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to make the cobbler accessible for those with dietary restrictions.
