Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Carrot Cake Cobbler
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and grated carrot, stirring until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until a thick batter forms.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the baking dish. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped walnuts or pecans, then sprinkle over the batter.
  6. Pour very hot water evenly over the mixture in the baking dish without stirring.
  7. Bake for approximately 40-50 minutes until the center is set and a golden brown crust develops.
  8. Once baked, let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving, and serve warm with a scoop of cheesecake ice cream.
