Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth.

Pour the batter directly over the browned butter. Do not stir.

3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer

In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until creamy.

Drop spoonfuls over the batter.

4. Add the Topping

Mix together cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle all over the top.

Sprinkle the extra brown sugar evenly across the surface.

5. Create the Cobbler Magic

Slowly pour the hot water over everything. Do not stir.
