Description

This Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler is a delightful autumn dessert featuring a spiced pumpkin batter topped with a sweet, nutty pecan crust and a unique hot water topping that produces a wonderfully moist and bubbly finish. Perfectly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, it combines the warm flavors of fall with a traditional cobbler texture that’s easy to prepare and sure to impress guests or family.

Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

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

Topping Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir these dry ingredients thoroughly and set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a smaller bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter (or vegetable oil), and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Create the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until you have a thick, even batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the cobbler light and tender.
  5. Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour the batter into an 8-inch casserole dish with high sides, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent baking.
  6. Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the dish.
  7. Add Hot Water: Carefully pour 1 1/2 cups of very hot water over the entire cobbler, making sure not to stir. This water will create a sweet, moist topping during baking.
  8. Bake: Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the center is set and the topping is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. For an extra indulgent touch, serve with additional chopped pecans and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Do not stir after adding the hot water; this allows the topping to form properly during baking.
  • Use an 8-inch casserole dish with high sides to prevent bubbling over.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond or oat milk and use vegetable oil instead of butter.
  • Adjust the amount of spices to taste for a milder or stronger pumpkin spice flavor.
