Easy Homemade Snickerdoodle Cobbler Recipe
So fall isn’t here quite yet…but there is no reason not to start gearing up for it in the kitchen.
Don’t mind the ridiculously hot August temperatures…crank up that AC and get your oven ready.
I am slightly obsessed with this Snickerdoodle Cobbler.
A Simple Snickerdoodle Cobbler Dessert
A) There is no fruit involved. Woop! B) It takes like 4 seconds to put together. C) It’s best served with ice cream and D) It creates it’s own cinnamon caramel sauce whilst baking.
It might be the perfect food y’all.

How to Make a Perfect Snickerdoodle Cobbler:
The recipe is super simple and I am quite certain you have everything you need in your pantry to whip this up.
You start with a simple batter…no mixer required!

The a super sugary mixture…that’s just light brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.

Just sprinkle that on top.

Then…and I know this is weird…1 3/4 cups hot water. You’ll need to pour that slowly and carefully on top. Don’t dump it por favor.

Immediately put it in the oven.
The water combines with the other ingredients and creates this ridonk sauce. Like what?

And then eat it. It’s best served warm, so serve it immediately or reheat it when you’re ready.
Also ice cream is not optional, folks!

Well, I just made this and it’s in the oven right now. I don’t understand how or why some of y’alls batter is so thick?? I went exactly by the measurements in the recipe and mine came out almost the consistency of pancake batter. I just used a rubber spatula to help it pour into the pan. I can’t wait to try!!
Mmmmm, you’re speaking my language! I can’t wait to wip this together and cozy up with some french vanilla ice cream globbed on top! =)
I made this tonight & it was amazing! no problems with the batter, it was the same consistency as yours Shelly. I see this being made a few times this fall!!
I just made this….in the oven as I type and I’m drooling because of the smell! My batter too was on the thicker side. Could it be the type of flour used?
I can’t wait to try this. Ha ha ha no fat at all in this recipe, people, so it shouldn’t make us fat, either…
Droooooling over this cobbler!! Love 🙂
Nothing does it for me more than cinnamon sugar. The best combo!
OM Goodness!I made this last night and shared with friends. All we could do is S-O-H and say yum, yum, yum – very good!!! In addition to the ice cream, we had a dollop of whipped topping. Tres’Delicious!!!
OK… This was SO decadent! I posted earlier about how I was scared about all the water. Nothing to worry about. So yummy in my tummy. Have any of you had Gordon Ramsay’s sticky toffee pudding? It’s a lot like that, only not as cloyingly sweet. And yes. Totally needs the ice cream. It made my sick husband VERY happy!
Mine’s in the oven now. I had initially thought there was too much flour, but once I added the oil, it became much more manageable. The part that freaked my out was the water on top. It seemed like TOO much. My pan was swimming! I had to re-read what I’d written 3 times, then check on the computer lol. It smells phenomenal. Snickerdoodles are my hubby’s favorite cookie and he’s been sick since Sunday. This should make him feel better. 🙂
