  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• Total time: 45 minutes

This recipe takes approximately 25% less time than traditional cobbler recipes, making it a perfect choice for last-minute gatherings or a delightful family dessert.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 baking dish to ensure your cobbler doesn’t stick.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mixing these dry ingredients first allows for uniform flavor distribution.

Step 3: Blend Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Combine Mixtures

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing, as it could result in a tough cobbler.

Step 5: Pour and Sprinkle

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this over the batter along with the chopped pecans for that extra crunch.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 30 minutes or until the cobbler is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes—patience is a virtue here!
