Ingredients
Scale
For the 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
For the 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 to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, granulated sugar, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined. Pour this batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the light brown sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon thoroughly. Sprinkle this sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully pour the 1 3/4 cups of hot water slowly over the sprinkled topping. This will create a syrupy layer as it bakes, forming the characteristic cobbler texture.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes until the cobbler is set and the top is golden with bubbling syrup.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect finishing touch.
Notes
- Ensure the water is hot before pouring over the topping to achieve the correct cobbler texture.
- Use a well-greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg in the batter along with cinnamon.
- You can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative to make it dairy-free.
- This cobbler is best enjoyed warm and fresh but can be reheated gently.
