Ingredients
Scale
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
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the oven is hot and ready when the cobbler is assembled. - Make the Topping:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and milk until the ingredients are just combined. The batter should be thick but spoonable. - Prepare the Baking Dish:
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the cobbler from sticking. - Prepare the Filling:
Pour the light corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract into the prepared baking dish. Stir to combine all the ingredients. - Add the Pecans:
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the filling. The pecans will add flavor, texture, and a wonderful crunch. - Drop the Topping:
Spoon the topping batter over the pecan filling. Don’t worry if some of the filling is visible—the topping will bake into a cake-like texture over the filling. - Bake the Cobbler:
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. - Serve:
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and flavors.
Notes
- Storage: Leftover cobbler can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the filling and topping separately, then assemble and bake the cobbler just before serving.
- For a Richer Flavor: If you prefer a richer filling, you can add a bit of heavy cream to the corn syrup mixture.
- Nut Alternatives: If you prefer, you can swap pecans for walnuts or almonds, though pecans give this dessert the best traditional flavor.
- Freezing Tip: This dessert can be frozen for up to 2 months. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
