Ingredients

For the Cobbler:

Unsalted Butter: Melted to create a rich base.
Whole Milk: Adds moisture and richness to the batter.
Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor with a sweet, warm note.
Granulated Sugar: For sweetness in the batter.
All-Purpose Flour: Provides structure to the cobbler.
Baking Powder: Ensures the cobbler rises properly.
Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the cinnamon flavor.
Ground Cinnamon: The star ingredient that gives this dessert its classic snickerdoodle taste.
Brown Sugar: Adds a rich, caramel-like sweetness.
Hot Water: Poured over the batter to create a gooey, custard-like texture.

For the Topping:

Granulated Sugar: Combined with cinnamon for a sweet, crunchy topping.
Ground Cinnamon: For that irresistible cinnamon-sugar crunch.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and melt butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla, and granulated sugar. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, mixing until just combined.
Layer the Ingredients: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring. Sprinkle brown sugar over the batter, then carefully pour hot water over the top without mixing.
Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown on top and mostly set in the center.
Add the Topping: Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the hot cobbler. Let the dessert cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Customizing: Try adding sliced apples, pears, or even canned peaches for a fruity twist on this dessert. You can also sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the top for extra crunch.
Reduce Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of sugar in the batter or topping. A touch less sugar still delivers great flavor without overwhelming sweetness.
