Warm and Gooey Snickerdoodle Cobbler Recipe

Introduction

Warm and gooey Snickerdoodle Cobbler is a comforting dessert that combines the classic cinnamon-sugar flavor of snickerdoodles with a luscious caramel sauce. It’s easy to make and perfect for cozy evenings or special occasions.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 1 ½ cups (360ml) hot water

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out to form an even layer.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
5. Step 5: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish without stirring. This will help create the gooey caramel sauce as the cobbler bakes.
6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
7. Step 7: Let the cobbler sit for about 10 minutes after baking to allow the sauce to thicken. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best experience.

Tips & Variations

• For a nuttier flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the cinnamon-sugar topping before baking.
• Use almond milk or oat milk as a dairy-free substitute for whole milk.
• Add a pinch of ground cloves or ginger to the spice mix for extra warmth.
• Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce for an even richer dessert.

Storage

Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but keeps well when chilled.

FAQs

Can I make this cobbler gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, making sure it is suitable for baking. The texture might vary slightly but will still be delicious.

What can I use instead of hot water?

Hot water is essential for creating the caramel-like sauce, but if you prefer, you can try using strong brewed tea or coffee for a subtle flavor twist. However, plain hot water works best for the classic taste and texture.

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping & Sauce

• ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 1 ½ cups (360ml) hot water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent the cobbler from sticking during baking.
2. Prepare the cobbler batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you get a smooth batter.
3. Pour the batter into the baking dish: Spread the prepared batter evenly in the greased 9×9-inch baking dish to form an even layer.
4. Make the cinnamon-sugar topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional nutmeg. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
5. Add the hot water: Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish. Do not stir the water into the batter. This pouring step creates the gooey caramel sauce that will develop as the cobbler bakes.
6. Bake the cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.
7. Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to sit for about 10 minutes after baking so the sauce can thicken. Serve warm, ideally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent experience.

Notes

• You can substitute nutmeg with a pinch of ground ginger for a slight twist on warmth and spice.
• Make sure to use hot water at step five; this is essential for creating the gooey sauce underneath the cobbler.
• For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
• Best served warm, but leftovers can be reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
• Add chopped nuts or raisins to the topping for additional texture if desired.
