Ingredients:

• For the 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 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
• For the Topping:
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your cobbler bakes evenly and has that perfect golden-brown top.
2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Spread it evenly across the bottom of the pan to create a rich, buttery base for your cobbler.
3. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined. Next, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and just combined—be careful not to overmix.
4. Layer the Ingredients: Spoon the batter over the melted butter in the baking pan. Make sure to do this carefully and avoid mixing the batter with the butter. The batter should sit on top of the butter in an even layer.
5. Add the Sweet Touch: Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the batter. This will melt into the cobbler as it bakes, creating a deliciously sweet and slightly caramelized layer.
6. Pour the Hot Water: Gently pour the hot water over the batter and sugar. This might seem unusual, but it’s what helps create that classic cobbler texture with a gooey, syrupy base.
7. Bake to Perfection: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and mostly set. The edges should be crisp, while the center remains slightly gooey.
8. Finish with Cinnamon Sugar: While the cobbler is still hot, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the cobbler for an extra touch of sweetness and that signature snickerdoodle flavor.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own, but even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Additional Tips:

• Serving Suggestion: Serve this cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate comforting dessert experience.
• Make Ahead: This cobbler can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven. Simply cover with foil and bake at 300°F until warmed through.
