Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Melt Butter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven until melted.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth.

Step 3: Pour the Batter

Once butter is melted, remove the dish from the oven and carefully pour the batter over the butter. Do not stir.

Step 4: Add Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

In a separate bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle it evenly over the batter. Then gently pour the hot water over the top (again, don’t stir).

Step 5: Bake

Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until the top is golden and the cobbler is bubbling. The magic happens as the cinnamon-sugar caramelizes and forms a luscious sauce beneath the crust.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let cool slightly before serving. The cobbler will continue to set as it cools.

Healthier Alternatives for the Recipe

• Use coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar.
• Swap half the butter for applesauce.
• Use almond or oat milk to reduce dairy.
• Try whole wheat flour for extra fiber.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
• Pair with a hot chai latte or spiced tea.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Stirring the layers: Letting the butter, batter, and topping stay separate ensures the cobbler bakes with the right texture.
• Not using hot water: This helps the sauce form as it bakes.
• Overbaking: Check at 35 minutes—cobbler should be golden but still saucy.

Storing Tips for the Recipe

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
• Freezer: Freeze in portions for up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat gently before serving.
