Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cobbler Batter Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup or maple syrup, vanilla extract, eggs, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until evenly mixed. This creates the rich, gooey filling that will soak into the cobbler topping perfectly.
  2. Make the Cobbler Batter: In a separate bowl, cream softened butter with granulated sugar, then add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually fold in flour and salt to create a thick batter that will bake up fluffy and golden.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Grease a baking dish and spread the cobbler batter evenly on the bottom. Pour the pecan pie filling over the batter, gently spreading it out. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the Pecan Pie Cobbler to cool to room temperature for a bit before serving. This helps the filling set slightly, making it easier to enjoy without losing any of its gooey goodness.

Notes

  • Use fresh pecans for better crunch and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the cobbler batter to keep it light and tender.
  • Choose corn syrup for classic gooey texture or maple syrup for natural flavor depth.
  • Grease your baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  • Keep an eye on baking time to achieve a golden crust without drying out the filling.
