Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup (or maple syrup for no corn syrup version)
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the cobbler topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Press about two-thirds of the cobbler dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Set the remaining dough aside.
  4. Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup (or maple syrup), melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Stir in the pecan halves until they are coated in the mixture.
  6. Pour the pecan filling evenly over the dough layer in the baking dish.
  7. Drop the remaining cobbler dough in small spoonfuls over the top of the pecan filling. Do not cover the entire surface; leave gaps for the filling to bubble up.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and set.
  9. Let the pecan pie cobbler cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.

Notes

  • Serve this warm dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the best comfort food experience.
  • For a gluten free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten free baking blend.
  • This recipe feeds a crowd well, making it perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas gatherings.
