Step 3: Prepare the Pecan Pie Topping

  1. In another bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and glossy.
  2. Beat in the eggs until fully incorporated.
  3. Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly coated.

This mixture will form the gooey, caramel-like pecan layer on top of the cobbler.


Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

  1. Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the cobbler batter in the baking dish. Don’t worry if it sinks a little—it will settle and form the perfect layered texture.
  2. Use a spatula to gently spread it so the pecans are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and set.
  2. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out mostly clean but slightly sticky from the pecan topping.

Tip: If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover it with foil halfway through baking.


Step 6: Cool and Serve

  1. Let the cobbler cool for at least 10–15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly and makes it easier to scoop.
  2. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
