Make this simple Pecan Pie Cobbler for a rich, nutty, and caramel-like dessert that tastes just like classic pecan pie but is much easier to prepare. This recipe features a buttery cobbler topping and is perfect for your next holiday gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup (or maple syrup for an alternative)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined to form a soft dough.
  3. Press the topping dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup (or maple syrup), melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  5. Gently stir in the toasted pecans into the filling mixture.
  6. Pour the pecan filling evenly over the dough layer in the baking dish. The filling will settle around the dough as it bakes, creating the gooey layer underneath the topping.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and set.
  8. Let the **gooey pecan cobbler** cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For a **pecan pie without corn syrup**, substitute the corn syrup with an equal amount of pure maple syrup in the filling mixture.
  • Toasting the pecans beforehand deepens their nutty flavor, making this a truly **best pecan cobbler recipe**.
  • This dessert is a fantastic **Thanksgiving pecan dessert** or Christmas treat.
  • You can use a store-bought pie crust instead of making the simple dough for an even quicker version.
