Pecan Pie Cobbler

Step 3: Make the Cobbler Batter

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another small bowl, combine milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Spoon the batter over the pecan mixture in dollops. Don’t worry about covering it completely; the batter will spread as it bakes.
2. Smooth lightly with a spatula if needed.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The filling should be bubbly and caramelized around the edges.

Pro Tip: If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

Step 6: Cool Slightly and Serve

Allow the cobbler to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. This lets the filling set slightly while remaining gooey.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Tips for the Best Pecan Pie Cobbler

• Use fresh pecans for maximum flavor and crunch.
• Don’t overmix the batter; a light hand ensures a tender cobbler topping.
• Make ahead: You can prepare the filling the night before and bake the cobbler just before serving.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently before serving.
