Description
This Pecan Pie Cobbler combines the rich, nutty flavor of classic pecan pie with the comforting texture of a warm cobbler. Featuring a buttery cake-like base, crunchy pecans, sweet brown sugar, and a gooey caramel-style sauce that forms while baking, this Southern-inspired dessert is perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or any occasion that calls for a cozy, crowd-pleasing treat.
Ingredients
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the butter in a 13×9-inch baking dish and place the dish in the oven until the butter is completely melted.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring just until a smooth batter forms.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven.
- Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and toffee bits evenly over the batter.
- Slowly pour the boiling water over the entire surface. Do not stir.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.

Notes
- Do not stir the layers after adding the batter, pecans, or boiling water. The layering creates the signature cobbler texture.
- Toast the pecans beforehand for deeper flavor and extra crunch.
- Allow the cobbler to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving so the sauce can thicken slightly.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm the baking dish in a low oven before serving.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle with caramel sauce and top with whipped cream.
- This dessert is especially popular during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and fall gatherings.
