Make this simple Pecan Pie Cobbler for a rich, nutty dessert that tastes like classic pecan pie but is easier to prepare. It features a gooey caramel filling under a buttery topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts total)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup (or maple syrup for no corn syrup option)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll one pie crust and fit it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Press gently to cover the bottom.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping.
  4. Add the milk to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour this batter evenly over the bottom pie crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. This creates the gooey filling.
  6. Pour the filling mixture slowly and evenly over the batter layer in the baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the pecan halves evenly over the top of the filling.
  8. Unroll the second pie crust. Tear or cut this crust into small, irregular pieces (about 1-inch squares or rough clumps). Drop these pieces randomly over the pecans and filling to create the cobbler topping.
  9. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and set in the center.
  10. Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving warm. This allows the gooey filling to set slightly.

Notes

  • For a gluten free cobbler option, substitute the pie crust with your favorite gluten-free crust or use a biscuit topping mix.
  • If you want to avoid corn syrup, substitute it with an equal amount of pure maple syrup in the filling mixture.
  • Serve this warm dessert with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream for a classic Southern dessert experience.
