Description

Pecan Pie Cobbler is the best of both worlds: the rich, caramelized filling of classic pecan pie combined with a soft, cake-like cobbler topping. As it bakes, a sweet pecan sauce forms underneath, creating a warm, spoonable dessert that’s pure Southern comfort.

Ingredients

Cobbler Base

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Pecan Filling

• 1½ cups packed brown sugar
• 1½ cups pecan halves
• 1½ cups hot water

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   
   • Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
   • Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Make the Batter
   
   • In a bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth.
   • Carefully pour batter over the butter without stirring.
5. Add the Filling
   
   • Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the batter.
   • Scatter pecan halves on top.
   • Slowly pour hot water over everything — do not mix.
7. Bake
   
   • Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set but still gooey underneath.
9. Cool & Serve
   
   • Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• A drizzle of caramel sauce takes it over the top.
• For extra depth, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

Pro Tips

• Toast the pecans first for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
• This dessert thickens as it cools but stays luxuriously gooey.
• Perfect for make-ahead entertaining — just reheat gently.
