Step 3: Make the Cobbler Batter
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Tip: Avoid overmixing the batter, or the cobbler will become tough instead of light and fluffy.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
- Pour the pecan filling into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Gently pour or spoon the cobbler batter over the pecan filling. It’s okay if it doesn’t completely cover the filling—the batter will rise and spread as it bakes.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine, but no wet batter).
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15–20 minutes before serving. This lets the filling set slightly so it doesn’t run everywhere when scooped.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
Tips for Success
- Pecan Variation: Use half pecans and half walnuts for a slightly different nutty profile.
- Make Ahead: The cobbler can be made a day ahead and reheated in the oven at 325°F for 10–15 minutes.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Reduce sugar slightly if you prefer a less sweet dessert; the pecans add natural sweetness and texture.
Why You’ll Love It
The beauty of Pecan Pie Cobbler is in its dual textures: the crunchy, nut-filled bottom layer contrasts perfectly with the soft, tender cobbler on top. Every bite delivers caramel-like sweetness with a satisfying nut crunch. It’s a dessert that feels both decadent and homey, ideal for impressing guests or treating yourself.
If you want, I can also write a shortcut version using a skillet, so you can make this cobbler without a lot of dishes, and it will be ready in under an hour. That version is a real time-saver.
Do you want me to do that?
