Pecan Pie Cobbler

Here’s a delicious Pecan Pie Cobbler recipe — it combines all the gooey, nutty goodness of pecan pie with the comfort of a cobbler. It’s easy to make and perfect for fall or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

For the base:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the topping:

• 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 1 1/2 cups hot water
• 2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
   • Stir in milk and vanilla until just combined.
   • Stir in the melted butter (it will be a loose batter).
3. Pour into baking dish:
   • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
   • Pour the batter into the dish — do not stir once it’s in.
4. Add pecans:
   • Sprinkle the pecan halves evenly over the batter.
5. Add brown sugar and water:
   • Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over everything.
   • Carefully pour the hot water over the top. Do not stir.
6. Bake:
   • Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly.
   • The liquid will thicken into a rich caramel-like sauce as it bakes.
7. Cool slightly and serve:
   • Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
   • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

• The hot water on top might seem strange, but it creates a caramel sauce on the bottom as it bakes.
• You can use dark brown sugar for a deeper molasses flavor.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or bourbon for a twist.
