Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped pecans (lightly toasted for enhanced flavor)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup or honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg

Crust or Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine chopped toasted pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup or honey, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and optional spices. Stir the mixture thoroughly until smooth and glossy, making sure every pecan piece is well coated.
  2. Make the Crust or Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the flour with cold cubed butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk or cream, stirring gently, until a dough or batter forms depending on the desired texture (dough for crust, batter for topping).
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a baking dish. Spread half of the crust or spoon half of the topping mixture evenly into the dish. Pour the pecan filling evenly over the base. Cover with the remaining crust or spoon dollops of the topping over the filling for a rustic look.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cobbler for 40–45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cooling and Serving: Let the cobbler cool for several minutes to allow the filling to set for easier serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Toast your pecans lightly before use to intensify natural oils and flavor.
  • Use cold butter for the crust to achieve a flaky, golden texture.
  • Check for doneness starting at 35 minutes to avoid over-baking, as ovens vary.
  • Allow the cobbler to rest after baking to thicken the filling properly.
  • Use quality ingredients like fresh eggs, real vanilla, and pure butter to enhance taste.
