Description
This Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler is a fall twist on a classic self-saucing dessert. As it bakes, the spiced pumpkin cake rises to the top, while a rich, sweet sauce forms underneath. Topped with toasted pecans and a scoop of ice cream, it’s the kind of dessert that begs to be shared—straight from the dish.
Ingredients
For the Cobbler:
1 cup + 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups very hot water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a deep baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and spices.
Stir in pumpkin, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into prepared dish.
In a small bowl, mix both sugars and chopped pecans. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
Gently pour hot water over the top—do not stir.
Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is set and golden, and a gooey sauce forms underneath.
Cool slightly before serving with ice cream or whipped cream.
