Description
This Snickerdoodle Cobbler is a delightful twist on the classic snickerdoodle cookie, transformed into a warm, gooey cobbler with a cinnamon-sugar topping. Perfectly baked to achieve a golden crust with a bubbling cinnamon-infused interior, this dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a comforting treat.
Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until the batter is just combined and smooth, taking care not to overmix.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and pour the prepared batter evenly into it. Sprinkle the packed brown sugar uniformly over the batter, followed by an even dusting of ground cinnamon to create the signature snickerdoodle flavor.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully and slowly pour the hot water over the top of the batter and toppings. Do not stir; the water will help create the cobbler’s luscious sauce as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Bake until the top is a beautiful golden brown and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges, signaling that it is cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly in the dish before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Do not stir after pouring the hot water; this allows the cobbler to form its characteristic layered texture.
- You can use whole milk or 2% milk for creaminess; for a dairy-free option, substitute with almond or oat milk.
- Ensure the water is hot to facilitate the baking process and help create the sauce.
- For a deeper cinnamon flavor, you can increase the cinnamon in the topping slightly.
- Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly and make serving easier.
