Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • For the Cinnamon Filling:
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon.
  6. Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  7. Pour the melted butter over the dough base. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter layer.
  8. Prepare the topping: In a separate small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Crumble the remaining one-third of the dough over the cinnamon layer. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the dough.
  10. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the center is set.
  11. Let the cobbler cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving warm. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality ground cinnamon.
  • You can substitute apple pie filling for the cinnamon filling layer if you want a fruit component.
  • This dessert is best eaten warm on the day it is baked.
