Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 3/4 cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the perfect temperature for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and granulated sugar. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer of the cobbler.
- Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon. This mixture will create the delicious topping and syrup.
- Sprinkle Topping: Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the batter in the baking dish.
- Add Hot Water: Slowly pour the 1 3/4 cups of hot water over the brown sugar mixture. Avoid stirring; the water will form a syrup during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent finish.
Notes
- Do not stir after adding the hot water; the layering effect creates the cobbler’s signature texture.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a plant-based oil.
- Ensure the water is hot to help dissolve the sugar topping and create the syrup.
- The cobbler is best enjoyed warm and fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving if stored.
