⏱ Time

Prep: 15 minutes
Bake: 35–40 minutes
Total: ~50 minutes

🍽 Serves

6–8 people

🧾 Ingredients

Pecan Pie Filling

1 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups pecan halves

Cobbler Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

🔪 Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
Grease a 9×9-inch (or similar) baking dish.

🍳 STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS

Step 1: Make the pecan pie filling

In a bowl, whisk together:
- Corn syrup
- Brown sugar
- Melted butter
- Eggs
- Vanilla
Stir in pecans until evenly coated.
Set aside.

Step 2: Make the cobbler topping

In a separate bowl, mix:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Sugar
Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3: Assemble the cobbler

Pour the cobbler batter into the prepared baking dish.
Carefully pour the pecan filling on top of the batter.
- Do not stir; it will naturally sink as it bakes, creating a layered effect.

Step 4: Bake

Bake in preheated oven for 35–40 minutes.
The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick in the cobbler batter (not the pecan layer) should come out clean.
If edges brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 25 minutes.

Step 5: Cool slightly

Let the cobbler cool 10–15 minutes before serving.
This helps the filling set slightly for easier slicing.

✅ Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Can be made a day ahead and reheated in the oven at 325°F for 10–15 minutes.

🔥 Tips for the Perfect Pecan Pie Cobbler

Use fresh pecans for the best flavor.
Do not stir after pouring pecan mixture — the layered effect is part of the magic.
Check oven temp: cobblers bake best at 350°F for a tender, not burnt, top.
Optional crunch: sprinkle extra chopped pecans on top before baking.
