Ingredients

For the Cobbler:

  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 cups very hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Create the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Add hot water: Carefully pour the very hot water over the topping. Do not stir.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and the filling is set.
  9. Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and additional chopped pecans.

Tips for the Perfect Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk and butter.
  • If you don't have pumpkin puree, you can substitute it with applesauce.
  • To intensify the fall flavors, toast the pecans before adding them to the topping.
  • Serve the cobbler with whipped cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream cheese for extra indulgence.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
