Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups hot water
- Optional topping: 1 tbsp granulated sugar + ½ tsp cinnamon (mixed for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla, and granulated sugar. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until just combined.
- Pour batter evenly over the butter in the baking dish—do not stir.
- Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the batter.
- Carefully pour hot water over the entire dish—again, do not mix.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the cobbler is golden brown and mostly set in the center.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar topping while still warm, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a fruity twist, add canned apple, peach, or pear slices before baking.
- Chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts make a delicious crunchy topping.
- Use buttermilk for a slight tang or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
- For a quicker version, substitute the batter with vanilla cake mix
