Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
How to Make Snickerdoodle Cobbler:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread melted butter evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, whisking until just combined.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spoon the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, being careful not to mix them. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the batter.
- Add Hot Water: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish. The water will sink to the bottom, creating a gooey layer at the bottom of the cobbler.
- Bake: Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and mostly set in the center.
- Add the Topping: While the cobbler is baking, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. Once the cobbler is out of the oven, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgence, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for Making the Perfect Snickerdoodle Cobbler:
- Don’t Overmix: Keep the batter lumpy—this ensures the cobbler’s texture is perfect.
- Gooey Center: The center will remain slightly gooey, but it should not be liquidy when baked. The top will be golden and set.
- Extra Toppings: For even more indulgence, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Substitutions and Additions:
- Fruit Additions: Make an Apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler by adding apple pie filling, or try canned peaches or pears for a different twist.
- Nutty Crunch: Add chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts on top before baking for added texture.
- Gluten-Free Version: Substitute almond or coconut flour for a gluten-free cobbler.
- Buttermilk Twist: For a tangy flavor, use 1 cup of buttermilk instead of milk.
Storage and Reheating:
- Storing: Keep the cooled cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze the cobbler for up to 2 months. Let it thaw in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheating: Reheat in a 325°F oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
