Instructions

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!

Notes

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.
