Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Pour the melted butter into a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make the Batter

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
• Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish (do not stir).

Step 3: Add the Topping

• In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the batter.
• Carefully pour the hot water over the top (do not stir).

Step 4: Bake & Serve

• Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbling.
• Let cool for about 5 minutes, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Pro Tips:

• ✔ Don’t stir the layers – This helps create the cobbler’s gooey, self-saucing effect.
• ✔ For extra crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
• ✔ Try different flavors – Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of caramel sauce for a twist.

Storage & Reheating Tips:

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
• Freeze: Not recommended, as the texture changes when thawed.
