Description
Warm, gooey, and bursting with cinnamon-sugar flavor, this Snickerdoodle Cobbler is a cozy dessert that magically forms its own caramel sauce as it bakes. Easy to make and even easier to love
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Hot Water Layer:
- 1 ½ cups boiling water
Optional Add-ins:
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Caramel drizzle for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish. - Prepare the batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix. - Make the topping:
In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in your baking dish. - Add the hot water:
Carefully pour boiling water over the top of the mixture—do not stir. It will look unusual, but the water helps form the caramel sauce during baking. - Bake:
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and crisp, and the sauce is bubbling underneath. - Cool and serve:
Allow the cobbler to rest for about 10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Don’t skip the hot water step: It creates the gooey sauce layer at the bottom.
- Use real butter: It gives the cobbler its rich, classic flavor.
- Serve warm: The cobbler tastes best straight from the oven with a scoop of ice cream.
- Add-ins: Try apples, nuts, or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- Double the recipe: Perfect for a 9×13-inch pan when serving a crowd.
