Ingredients
Scale
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping and Sauce
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 ½ cups (360ml) hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the cobbler batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish, ensuring an even layer.
- Make the cinnamon-sugar topping: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter.
- Add the hot water: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish without stirring. This step helps create the gooey caramel sauce as the cobbler bakes.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Cool and serve: Let the cobbler sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best experience.
Notes
- For an extra warm flavor, add the optional nutmeg when mixing the cinnamon sugar topping.
- Make sure not to stir after adding the hot water to ensure the perfect gooey caramel sauce forms during baking.
- This cobbler is best served warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- You can substitute whole milk with 2% milk or a dairy-free alternative for a lighter or lactose-free version.
- Use unsalted butter to control the salt content more precisely.
