Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
Prepare Butter Base: Pour the melted unsalted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring an even layer to form the rich buttery base of the cobbler.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir the milk and vanilla extract into the dry mixture until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
Pour Batter Over Butter: Carefully pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring to maintain distinct layers.
Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix the remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Sprinkle Topping: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter, covering the surface completely for a sweet, spicy crust.
Add Boiling Water: Slowly and carefully pour the 1 ½ cups boiling water over the cinnamon sugar topping without stirring, which helps create the signature texture of the cobbler.
Bake the Cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. For best results, serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic touch.
You can substitute half-and-half for the milk to achieve a richer and creamier texture.
Ensure not to stir after pouring the boiling water to maintain the cobbler’s distinct layers and texture.
