Introduction

It’s an easy-to-make dessert that captures the essence of two beloved Southern classics in one dish.

Ingredients
For the topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
For the filling:
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prepare for the cobbler.
For the topping, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are well blended.
Next, add the melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. The batter should be smooth and spreadable, but thick enough to sit on top of the filling.
In a separate bowl, prepare the filling by whisking together the corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Make sure the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared baking dish, then spoon the batter on top of the filling. Don’t worry about spreading the batter evenly – it will spread as it bakes.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the batter. This will give the cobbler a delicious crunch and enhance the flavor.
Bake the pecan pie cobbler for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
You may need to check it towards the end to ensure the cobbler doesn’t overcook, as ovens can vary.

Start by preparing the filling first. This is a simple mixture of corn syrup, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Whisk them together until smooth and well combined. This will form the sweet base of the cobbler that gives it that signature pecan pie flavor.
Next, prepare the topping. Mix together your dry ingredients, then add the milk and melted butter. Stir until you get a batter that is thick enough to hold its shape but still spreadable.
You want the topping to sit on top of the filling, almost like a cake batter that will rise and become golden while baking.
Once you’ve prepared both the filling and the topping, pour the filling into your greased baking dish.
Be sure to spread the batter over the filling, as this is what will create the signature “cobbler” texture that is both rich and comforting.
Top the batter with the chopped pecans, as these will toast and crisp up as they bake, adding a wonderful.

Bake the cobbler at 350°F (175°C) for about 40-45 minutes. During this time, the filling will bubble up through.
the batter, creating that gooey, pecan-filled pie texture that pairs perfectly with the cake-like topping.
Once the cobbler is golden brown and the filling is set, remove it from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The cobbler will thicken as it cools, making it even more delicious.
Serve the cobbler warm, and if you like, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
