Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups hot water
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract, followed by the melted butter, until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
Layer the Ingredients:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the batter for that signature nutty flavor.
Create the Gooey Sauce:
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar with hot water, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Carefully pour this mixture over the batter. Don’t stir — this step helps create the gooey, caramel-like sauce that forms as the cobbler bakes.
Bake to Perfection:
Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. The cobbler will have a crispy crust with a soft, gooey interior.
Serve and Enjoy!
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. For an extra treat, top each serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Serving Tips:
Serve Warm: This cobbler tastes best when served warm. The gooey, rich filling combined with the crispy cobbler top makes it a cozy, comforting dessert.
Add Ice Cream or Whipped Cream: For an extra indulgent treat, top your warm Pecan Pie Cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The contrast of cold and warm creates a delicious experience.
Garnish Options: You can sprinkle extra chopped pecans or drizzle caramel sauce over the top for added flavor and texture.
Pair with Beverages: A cup of hot coffee, tea, or even a glass of milk pairs wonderfully with this dessert.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store leftover Pecan Pie Cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before reheating, allow it to come to room temperature.
Reheating: To enjoy the cobbler again, reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or place the entire dish in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
Freezing: This cobbler freezes well for up to 2 months. To freeze, allow the cobbler to cool completely, then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and foil. When ready to enjoy, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven at 325°F (160°C).
Avoid Sogginess: When storing, ensure the cobbler is fully cooled before covering to prevent excess moisture from making the topping soggy. For reheating, use the oven instead of the microwave for a crispier top.
