Ingredients

Cobbler Dough

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped

Pecan Pie Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups pecans, chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter a 7 by 10 inch baking dish with sides at least 2 1/2 inches high to prevent sticking and allow for easy removal of the cobbler.
  2. Make pecan pie filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the light corn syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, eggs, light brown sugar, 2 cups chopped pecans, ground allspice, and kosher salt. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth, then pour evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare cobbler dough: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour (or gluten-free flour), baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the cold unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  4. Add buttermilk and pecans to dough: Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until the dough begins to come together, ensuring not to overmix. Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
  5. Assemble the cobbler: Using a scoop or large spoon, drop equal portions of the cobbler dough evenly over the pecan filling in the baking dish, covering the surface as best as possible.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The topping should turn a lovely golden brown, and the pecan filling underneath should be set and bubbling.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken and makes it easier to portion.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for proper mixing and texture.
  • You can substitute gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • The baking dish should be deep enough to hold the filling and dough without spilling.
  • Allow cooling time for the filling to set for easier serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
