Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar mixture (combine cinnamon and sugar to taste)
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to ensure your cobbler doesn’t stick and bakes evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. These dry ingredients form the sweet and spiced backbone of your cobbler.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir just until everything comes together into a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- Pour and Sprinkle: Transfer the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle a generous layer of cinnamon sugar mixture over the top to create that signature snickerdoodle crunch.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The aroma filling your kitchen at this point is simply irresistible.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This helps it set slightly, making it easier to scoop out perfect portions of warm, cinnamon-sweet goodness.
Notes
- Fresh Cinnamon: Use freshly ground cinnamon for the brightest, most flavorful spice notes.
- Butter Quality: Choose unsalted butter for better control over the dish’s saltiness.
- Mix Gently: Avoid overmixing the batter to keep your cobbler tender and cakey.
- Cinnamon Sugar Ratio: Balance just enough cinnamon to sugar to hit that perfect sweet-spicy top layer.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure milk and butter are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
