Ingredients
For the filling:
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups pecan halves
For the cobbler:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For topping:
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Optional: a scoop of vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth. Stir in 2 cups of pecan halves.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly whisk in milk and melted butter to form a smooth batter.
Step 3: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole. Pour the cobbler batter evenly into the dish. Carefully spoon the pecan pie filling over the batter without mixing.
Step 4: Sprinkle the extra pecan halves and sugar on top for added texture and sweetness.
Step 5: Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the cobbler is golden brown and the filling bubbles along the edges. Cool slightly, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
