Step 3: Prepare the Cobbler Topping
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the melted butter and milk, stirring just until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing, or the topping may become tough.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
- Pour the pecan filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Gently spoon the cobbler batter over the filling in dollops. Do not completely cover the pecan layer—some filling peeking through will create a rustic, marbled effect after baking.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and firm to the touch. The filling will bubble around the edges, indicating it’s rich and gooey.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set slightly, making it easier to scoop. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips for the Best Pecan Pie Cobbler
- Pecans: Use fresh, high-quality pecans for the richest flavor.
- Sweetness: Adjust the sugar slightly if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
- Serving Size: This cobbler is rich, so small portions pair well with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee.
Why Pecan Pie Cobbler is Amazing
This dessert takes the classic Southern pecan pie and transforms it into something quicker, easier, and just as delicious. The buttery cobbler topping contrasts beautifully with the caramel-like filling, while the pecans provide a satisfying crunch. Perfect for anyone who loves traditional pies but wants less fuss and more comfort in every bite.
If you want, I can also create a shortcut version of this recipe that uses boxed cake mix for the topping—making it even faster but still delicious.
