  • Total Time: 55-60 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping and Finishing:

  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside for later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 3/4 cup light brown sugar. Use a fork or whisk to blend these ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  5. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, blend together the remaining light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon using a fork until uniformly mixed. Sprinkle this sugar mixture evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish.
  6. Add Hot Water: Carefully pour 1 cup of hot water evenly over the entire batter and topping, ensuring the water covers the top completely for the characteristic cobbler texture.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the cobbler is set and the top is bubbling. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
  8. Serve: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of ice cream to enhance the dessert experience. Enjoy your Snickerdoodle Cobbler!

Notes

  • Ensure the hot water is poured slowly and evenly to avoid disturbing the batter too much.
  • This cobbler is best served warm and fresh, though leftovers can be gently reheated.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and sugar quantities to suit your taste preferences.
  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish to best visualize the bubbling and doneness.
