🥧 Pecan Pie Cobbler Recipe
👩🍳 Servings: 8
🕒 Prep Time: 15 minutes
⏱️ Cook Time: 45-50 minutes
🔥 Oven Temp: 350°F (175°C)
📋 Ingredients:
For the Batter:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
¾ cup milk
-
1½ tsp vanilla extract
For the Filling:
-
1½ cups light corn syrup (or mix half light and half dark corn syrup)
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
4 large eggs
-
¼ cup melted butter
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 cups pecan halves
🍳 Instructions:
1. Prep the Oven & Dish
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a deep 2.5–3 qt casserole dish.
2. Make the Batter Layer
In a medium bowl:
-
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Do not stir once poured in.
3. Add the Pecans
-
Sprinkle pecan halves evenly over the batter layer.
4. Make the Syrup Filling
In another bowl:
-
Whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and fully combined.
5. Pour Syrup Over Top
-
Slowly pour the syrup mixture evenly over the pecans and batter.
-
Do not stir—this layering is what creates the cobbler effect.
6. Bake
-
Bake in preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set (a little jiggle is okay, but it should not be liquidy).
-
Let cool for at least 20–30 minutes before serving. The filling will thicken as it cools.
🥄 Serving Suggestions:
-
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
-
Also delicious at room temperature.
🧊 Storage:
-
Store covered at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
-
Reheat in microwave or oven if desired.
🔁 Variations:
-
Add a splash of bourbon to the filling for depth.
-
Use a mix of chopped and whole pecans for texture.
-
Swap in maple syrup for some or all of the corn syrup.
