Snickerdoodle Cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert that combines the cinnamon-sugar flavor of classic snickerdoodle cookies with the gooey, syrupy filling of a cobbler. This easy-to-make treat has a soft, cake-like topping and a cinnamon-spiced fruit filling, making it the perfect dessert for fall or any time of year. Serve it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent experience.

Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (or pears, peaches, or your preferred fruit)

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cinnamon-sugar topping:

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish. Toss sliced apples (or other fruit) with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.

  2. Make the topping:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.

  3. Assemble the cobbler:
    Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the fruit filling. It’s okay if some fruit shows through. The batter will spread as it bakes. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and sprinkle evenly over the cobbler batter.

  4. Bake the cobbler:
    Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (except for the fruit). The fruit filling should bubble up around the edges.

  5. Serve:
    Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

Fruit variations: You can swap apples for peaches, pears, berries, or a mix of fruits for different flavors.Add nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the cinnamon-sugar topping for added texture.Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free butter and non-dairy milk (such as almond milk) to make this dessert dairy-free.
