This dessert is so easy to make and kind of magical. Not to mention it is perfect for Fall baking! This is basically a cinnamon cake, but we’re going to layer things up with some melted butter, the cake batter, and then pour hot water over the whole thing. I know it sounds crazy, but just trust me on this! You will end up with a moist cinnamon cake that hides an indulgent caramel sauce underneath!

Magical right?? This cake did not last long in my house! The best is that caramel sauce that is hiding underneath. Make sure you spoon some out and drizzle it all over the cake. And of course the ice cream too. Because, of course, just like with any cobbler, it isn’t complete until you top it off with some vanilla ice cream. The combination of warm gooey snickerdoodle cobbler with the cold ice cream is definitely something you need to experience this Fall season!

Variations

If you want to change things up with this snickerdoodle cobbler then you totally can! I make this so often that sometimes it’s nice to change it up a bit. Here are a few ideas for you!

  • Add Nuts: After this comes out of the oven, I sometimes like to sprinkle on some nuts just to give it a little bit of texture or crunch. try some pecans, walnuts or sliced almonds!
  • Serve it with Ice Cream: Nothing elevates a dessert more than adding in some ice cream. Serve it on top, right when this comes out of the oven and it will melt perfectly on the snickerdoodle cobbler.
  • Fruit: Slice up some apples and add them to the batter before you cook it. Apples and cinnamon are a match made in heaven and it really makes this dessert unique and delicious!

How to Store Leftover Snickerdoodle Cobbler

This cobbler tastes so delicious, even a day or two later! Here are some instructions on how you can store it to keep it tasting fresh.

  • In the Refrigerator: After your cobbler has cooled, then you can store it in an airtight container. Put it in your fridge, and it will last for about 3 days.
  • To Reheat: Reheat it in the microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes or until warmed through. Add on a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it will taste just as good as the day that you made it!
