Ingredients
Scale
Cobbler:
- 1 ½ cups (1.1 cups) gluten-free flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 8 tbsp cold butter
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 cup Fisher pecans, chopped
Pecan Pie Filling:
- 1 ½ cups corn syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups Fisher pecans, chopped
- ⅛ tsp ground allspice
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 7×10 inch baking dish that is at least 2 ½ inches deep to prevent sticking.
- Mix Pecan Pie Filling: In a large bowl, combine all Pecan Pie Filling ingredients including corn syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, eggs, light brown sugar, chopped pecans, ground allspice, and kosher salt. Stir well until fully blended and pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Cobbler Topping Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free or all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold butter to the dry ingredient mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mix until it resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Add Buttermilk and Pecans: Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until the dough is moistened but still slightly lumpy. Then fold in the chopped Fisher pecans evenly through the dough.
- Add Cobbler Topping Over Filling: Using a spoon or scoop, place equal-sized dollops of the cobbler dough evenly over the pecan pie filling in the baking dish to create a rustic topping.
- Bake: Place the assembled cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm to experience the perfect combination of gooey pecan pie filling and tender cobbler topping.
Notes
- Use cold butter to ensure a flaky and tender cobbler crust.
- Room temperature eggs help the pecan pie filling mix more evenly.
- Do not overmix the cobbler dough to keep it light and crumbly.
- This dessert can be served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- For a gluten-free version, be sure to use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
