Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Evenly spread melted butter across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, mixing gently until combined without overmixing.

Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter without stirring. Generously sprinkle the brown sugar over the batter to create a caramelized filling.
03 -
Carefully pour hot water evenly over the batter and sugar mixture. Do not stir. This step creates steam, ensuring a moist cobbler.
04 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and edges are set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
05 -
While the cobbler is still hot, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cobbler’s surface, allowing it to slightly melt into the crust.
06 -
Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
