Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla, and sugar. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, whisking until just combined. A few lumps are fine.
- Layer the Cobbler: Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the batter. Gently pour the hot water over the brown sugar. Do not mix.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is mostly set but still slightly gooey.
- Add the Topping: Mix the topping ingredients (sugar and cinnamon) in a small bowl and sprinkle over the hot cobbler.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best experience.

Tips & Tricks
- Don’t Overmix: When preparing the batter, avoid overmixing to keep the cobbler light and fluffy.
- Extra Gooey Center: The cobbler will be slightly gooey in the center when done—this is normal and adds to the indulgence!
- Custom Toppings: Add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty crunch.
- Fruit Variation: Add a layer of apple pie filling, peaches, or pears for a fruity twist on the cobbler.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes.
