Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen) or diced apples
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (113g)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a 10-inch cast iron skillet. The cast iron creates beautifully crisp edges that contrast wonderfully with the soft center of your Snickerdoodle Cobbler.
- Step 2: Make the Fruit Filling In a large bowl, gently toss your chosen fruit with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt until evenly coated. The cornstarch will thicken the fruit juices as they release during baking, creating that perfect cobbler consistency. Transfer this mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Step 3: Prepare the Snickerdoodle Topping In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined – overworking the batter will result in a tough topping.
- Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler Drop spoonfuls of the snickerdoodle batter over the fruit filling, leaving some gaps for the fruit to peek through. Don’t worry about covering every inch – the batter will spread as it bakes. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Brush the melted butter over the batter, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
- Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection Bake your Snickerdoodle Cobbler for 40-45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil. The perfect cobbler will have a crackly cinnamon-sugar crust with a soft, cookie-like texture underneath. Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving to let the filling set up slightly.
