• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg

For the Snickerdoodle Topping:

• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

For the Sauce:

• 1 1/2 cups apple cider (or water for a less intense flavor)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Tools You’ll Need

✔ Mixing bowls
✔ Whisk
✔ Measuring cups and spoons
✔ Small saucepan (for the sauce)

How to Make Classic Snickerdoodle Cobbler

Step 1: Prepare the Cobbler Batter

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add in the melted butter, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 2: Make the Snickerdoodle Topping

• In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
• Set this cinnamon-sugar mixture aside to use for the topping.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

• Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
• Pour the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of the batter. Don’t stir it in; just let it sit on top.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

• In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider (or water), sugar, and vanilla extract.
• Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is simmering.
• Pour the hot sauce over the cobbler batter. It will look like a lot of liquid, but that’s okay—it will create a delicious, gooey base as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake the Cobbler

• Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. The top will be crispy, and the center will be soft and gooey.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

• Serve your warm snickerdoodle cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or just as is for a sweet treat!

Serving Suggestions
Top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the warm, cinnamon flavors.
Add fresh fruit like berries or sliced apples on top for a fruity twist.
Drizzle with caramel sauce or chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent touch.

Tips for the Best Snickerdoodle Cobbler
✔ Don’t Overmix the Batter – Stir until just combined to avoid a tough texture.
✔ Use Room Temperature Ingredients – Ensure that the butter and milk are not too hot when mixing to prevent curdling the batter.
✔ Add Extra Cinnamon – If you love cinnamon, feel free to sprinkle extra cinnamon on top of the cobbler before baking for an even more pronounced flavor.
