Pecan Pie Cobbler

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 23×33 cm (9×13-inch) baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Pecan Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and boiling water. Stir until the sugars dissolve. Gently fold in the pecan halves and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Cobbler Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring until smooth. The batter will be slightly thick but pourable.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Do not stir. Carefully spoon the pecan mixture over the batter, spreading it evenly across the surface.

Step 5: Bake

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling underneath is bubbling and thickened.

Step 6: Rest Before Serving

Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 10–15 minutes. As it cools slightly, the sauce will thicken into a luscious, caramel-like layer.

Step 7: Serve Warm

Scoop the cobbler into bowls, making sure to get both the gooey bottom and the soft topping in each serving.
