Ingredients

Let’s gather our superstar ingredients to create this magical cobbler:

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups hot water
1/4 cup sugar (for topping)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)

Steps to Create Dessert Nirvana

Preheat the Oven: Get that oven warmed up to 350 degrees F. Trust me; this dessert deserves a toasty home!
Butter Time: Pour that melted butter into a 9×13 inch baking pan, ensuring it’s evenly covering the bottom. This will help create that beautiful, slightly crispy edge that everyone fights over!
Mix It Up: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until it’s well-blended and oh-so-luscious.
Add Dry Ingredients: Toss in the flour, baking powder, salt, and the 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Whisk it gently until just combined. No need to overdo it; we want it fluffy, not tough!
Spoon and Spread: Now, it’s time to pour the batter over the melted butter. Make sure to spoon it evenly—don’t mix it with the butter! The magic happens later.
Sweeten the Deal: Sprinkle that packed brown sugar over the top of your batter. Oh, the levels of flavor we’re reaching already!
Hot Water Magic: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire mixture. Yes, you heard me right—don’t stir it! Just let it float to the top for that signature cobbler goodness.
Bake It Up: Slide the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 to 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and looks like it belongs in a dessert magazine.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together that last 1/4 cup of sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the hot cobbler straight out of the oven.
Cool and Enjoy: Let the cobbler cool slightly before you dig in. It’s best served warm, especially if you throw a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Who can say no to that?

Cooking Tips for Extra Love

No Brown Sugar?: If you’re in a jam and don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute it with white sugar mixed with a bit of molasses. Instant brown sugar! 🥳
Slightly Lumpy Batter?: Don’t sweat it—embrace those lumps! A little bit of texture just adds to the rustic charm of this cobbler.
Leftover Love: Spoiler alert—if there are any leftovers (which is rare!), just cover and store it in the fridge. It’s just as delightful the next day, warmed up with a dollop of ice cream!

FAQs

Can I substitute any ingredients in this recipe?

Absolutely! Feel free to use almond milk instead of whole milk or a dairy-free butter alternative if you’re looking for a vegan option.

How can I store leftovers?

Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the microwave for a cozy treat anytime!
