This pecan pie cobbler is a quick and easy dessert that looks like you spent hours in the kitchen. With a soft, cake-like base and a caramelized, crunchy pecan topping, it’s a crowd-pleaser that pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water
  • Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rack in the center of the oven.
  2. Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 3/4 cup milk, the melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and free of lumps (like thick pancake batter). Do not overmix.
  5. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray. Pour the batter in and spread evenly.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 cup chopped pecans. Stir until pecans are well coated. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir.
  7. Carefully pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water over the entire dish. Do not stir.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. The center should be set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
  10. Scoop into bowls and serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Toast the pecans for 5-7 minutes at 350°F before using for deeper flavor. Do not stir the boiling water into the batter. Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken. If using salted butter, reduce the added salt to a pinch. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. For a dairy-free version, use melted coconut oil or vegan butter and oat or almond milk.
