Pecan Pie Cobbler

All the awesome buttery sweet pecan pie goodness of the classic pie in a cobbler-style dessert that you can stir together in just a few minutes? Absolutely! This Pecan Pie Cobbler was a HUGE win from the very first bite.

A warm, gooey filling made from pecans, sugar, and butter rests beneath this golden-brown, flaky crust. Served with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream, pecan cobbler is the epitome of Southern comfort.

Pecan Cobbler

When I first had the idea for this cobbler, I figured surely someone had done this before. That seems to be the case for pretty much everything now. There really is nothing new under the sun, is there?

Sure enough, my idea turned out to already be a popular internet recipe, and to the best of my knowledge, it all began with this pecan cobbler recipe.

So, I played with that recipe, and then tweaked it just a tiny bit for our tastes and also to use ingredients I keep on hand. I like to make a smaller batch for just the family, though doubling the recipe to share over the holidays is a great option too.

I’ve added extra pecans too, because I wanted to make sure there will be a generous amount of crunchy, chewy pecans in every bite. With a name like pecan pie cobbler, you can’t go wrong doing that.

Pecan Cobbler Recipe

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this recipe:

• butter
• pecans
• flour
• sugar
• baking powder
• salt
• milk
• vanilla extract
• brown sugar

Pecan Pie Cobbler

You’ll start by placing the butter in an 8-inch baking dish and allowing it to melt in the oven.

When the butter has melted, remove from the oven and scatter pecans across the pan.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, and vanilla. Stir to combine.

Pour the batter over the pecans, do not stir. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the batter, do not stir.

Carefully pour the boiling water over the mixture; do not stir. The pie will look very watery as you carefully place it in the oven. Trust the process.

Bake for 32-36 minutes, until golden brown.

Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve the pecan pie cobbler warm and top it with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.

If you’re lucky enough to have leftover cobbler, it will keep nicely in the refrigerator for a few days. Or you can stir the COLD leftover cobbler into a batch of ice cream for a really tasty variation on this peach cobbler ice cream.
