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!

Hi! If I double the recipe can I use a 9×13 pan?
Most cobbler recipes seem to call for the use of one egg in the batter. Would the addition of an egg work in this recipe as well?
No need to add an egg!
Would this work with hot milk or cream instead of hot water?
I’ve never tried that, but I am sure milk would work!
I saved this recipe about 5 years ago… and I just made it now. It’s so easy and delicious! I made it for friends and we all thought it was so good 🙂 Thanks
So glad you made it!! I have so many recipes saved I need to go through and start making!
Would this recipe still work to substitute a non-dairy milk (Probably oat milk) to make this a vegan dessert?
yes it would still work!
Can you double the recipe and bake it in a 13 x 9 pan???
I made this with my two young boys. It was so easy and fun to make with them. It turned out perfectly. It was so delicious! And I LOVED the smell of it as it baked.
Do you think that using applesauce instead oil would mess this up?
Hi Shelly! I have made this more times than I can count & everyone loves it! My Friday night Bible study group requests it often but one of my friends has discovered she has a gluten intolerance. Would you have a suggestion on how to sub in coconut flour? A healthy dessert is not the concern, just the gluten, lol.
I have used the brand cup4cup before and it’s worked great…never for this recipe specifically but in other recipes!
So excited… have this going in the oven right now! Made this once before and it turned out great! This time, however, I substituted the hot water with hot coffee in hopes that it will enhance the flavor and make a richer sauce. Hopefully it works out!
let me know how it turns out!!!
It turned out pretty great! The coffee flavor was a bit too strong, though, and sort of masked the purpose of the dish being of a snickerdoodle, caramel-ly flavor. 1/4 to 1/2 cup of coffee, with the remaining liquid being hot water, would probably have been a bit better.
