Ingredients

For the Filling:

1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup light corn syrup
1 ½ cups pecans, chopped

For the Cobbler Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Equipment Needed:

9×9-inch baking dish
Mixing bowls
Whisk and spatula
Measuring cups and spoons

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray. This ensures the cobbler doesn’t stick and creates a beautifully golden crust.

Step 2: Make the Pecan Pie Filling

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs until fully combined.
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and corn syrup. Mix until smooth.
Fold in the chopped pecans carefully, making sure they’re evenly distributed. Set aside.
