Description

If you love pecan pie, wait until you try this Pecan Pie Cobbler! It’s rich, buttery, and gooey with caramelized pecans on top and a luscious syrupy filling underneath. The best part? It’s easier than making a traditional pie—no rolling out dough required!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cobbler Base:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Pecan Layer:

1 ½ cups chopped pecans
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar

For the Syrup:

1 ½ cups boiling water
½ cup pure maple syrup (or light corn syrup)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

2. Make the Cobbler Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Stir in milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

3. Add the Pecan Topping

Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over the batter.
In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar and granulated sugar, then sprinkle over the pecans.

4. Pour the Magic Syrup

Carefully pour boiling water and maple syrup over the top—do NOT stir!
The liquid will create a gooey caramel sauce as it bakes.

5. Bake & Serve

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving (it will be very hot!).
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate treat.

Notes

✔ For extra depth of flavor, toast the pecans for 5 minutes before adding them to the batter.
✔ Want a thicker sauce? Let the cobbler sit for 15-20 minutes after baking—it thickens as it cools!
✔ Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days (reheat in the microwave for gooey perfection).
