Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the batter over the melted butter but do not stir—it will create a layered effect.

Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Sugar Topping

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the batter.

Step 3: Add the Hot Water

Carefully pour the hot water over the entire cobbler. Do not stir—it will create a caramel-like sauce as it bakes.

Step 4: Bake the Cobbler

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Spoon the warm cobbler into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy the cinnamon-sugar goodness!

Notes

Don’t Stir the Layers – Let the batter, cinnamon sugar, and hot water stay in layers for the best texture.
Use Fresh Cinnamon – Fresh spices will enhance the warm, cozy flavors.
Let It Cool Slightly – This helps the cobbler set and makes serving easier.
Make It Extra Buttery – Brush melted butter on top after baking for a richer finish.
