Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the batter.
- 4
Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish—do not stir. This step helps create the gooey cobbler texture as it bakes.

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set. The cobbler will be soft underneath, with a caramel-like sauce forming at the bottom.

Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
