Ingredients
Scale
Pecan Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) chopped pecans
- 1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fluid ounces) hot water
Dry Cobbler Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
Wet Cobbler Base Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fluid ounces) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and coating a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Create a silky batter by whisking flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Incorporate milk and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture transforms into a smooth, consistent texture.
- Pour melted butter directly into the prepared baking dish, then gently cascade the prepared batter over the butter without disturbing the underlying layer.
- Distribute chopped pecans evenly across the batter’s surface, ensuring a uniform coverage that promises nutty crunch in every bite.
- Craft a rich syrup by dissolving brown sugar into hot water, stirring until the mixture becomes a glossy, unified liquid.
- Delicately drizzle the brown sugar syrup over the pecan-topped batter, allowing it to weave between the nuts and create a luscious, caramelized foundation.
- Transfer the unbaked cobbler into the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for 35-40 minutes until the surface achieves a golden-brown hue and the edges bubble with promise.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes, allowing the layers to settle and intensify in flavor.
- Serve warm, optionally crowned with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a billowing dollop of whipped cream for an extra layer of decadence.
Notes
- Swap pecans with alternative nuts like walnuts or almonds for variety and different flavor profiles.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make this dessert suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Create a lower-sugar version by reducing brown sugar and using monk fruit sweetener or stevia.
- Enhance the pie’s richness by adding a splash of bourbon or dark rum to the brown sugar mixture for deeper flavor complexity.
