Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Topping
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Base: Spread the melted unsalted butter evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan. Then sprinkle the roughly chopped pecans evenly on top of the butter layer.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, vanilla extract, and sugar until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to the pumpkin mixture. Whisk gently until just combined, making sure no dry streaks remain without overmixing.
- Spoon Batter: Carefully spoon the pumpkin batter over the butter and pecan layer in the baking pan. Do this gently to avoid mixing the butter into the batter.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
- Add Water: Slowly and gently pour the hot water over the top of the brown sugar and batter layers to create a syrupy topping as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the topping is bubbly and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the cobbler comes out mostly clean.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use freshly chopped pecans and ensure the butter is fully melted before spreading.
- Do not stir or mix the batter with the melted butter to maintain distinct layers that create the cobbler texture.
- Use canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) for best results.
- Serve warm topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
- This dessert stores well and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
