  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to ensure nothing sticks and cleanup is a breeze.
  2. Prepare the Butter and Batter: Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together 1 cup of sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is just combined. Pour this batter over the melted butter in the dish, but remember — do not stir! The magic of cobbler lies in its layers.
  3. Create the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter. This cinnamon-sugar blend is what gives the cobbler its signature snickerdoodle flavor.
  4. Add the Boiling Water: Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire mixture in the baking dish. Again, do not stir. The hot water helps create a luscious sauce underneath the cobbler crust as it bakes.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is set. The aroma of cinnamon and vanilla will fill your kitchen, making it nearly impossible to wait!
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving it warm. For an extra touch of indulgence, serve your Snickerdoodle Cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast between the warm cobbler and the cold ice cream is simply divine!

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, ensure that your butter and milk are at room temperature before starting. This helps them blend more smoothly into the batter.
  • Do Not Stir: The key to a perfect cobbler is to resist the urge to stir the layers together. The layering technique is what creates the cobbler’s signature gooey bottom and crisp top.
  • Experiment with Spices: While cinnamon is the classic choice for Snickerdoodle Cobbler, feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist.
  • Storage and Reheating: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, pop a serving in the microwave for about 20 seconds or warm it in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.
