  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 9 pieces

Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Base

  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

For the Pecan Sauce

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent the cobbler from sticking.
  2. Make Pumpkin Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, whole milk, egg, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
  3. Prepare Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until a thick batter forms. Carefully spread this batter evenly over the pumpkin base layer.
  4. Add Sugar and Boiling Water: Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar evenly over the topping batter. Then slowly pour the boiling water over the entire dish—do not stir at this point since the water will create the gooey sauce during baking.
  5. Top with Pecans: Scatter the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the dish to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
  6. Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling sauce is visible underneath.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting time helps the sauce thicken and makes serving easier. Serve warm for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the boiling water is poured slowly and gently over the batter to avoid disturbing the layers.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving so the sauce sets and does not run.
  • For added richness, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at a low temperature to restore warmth and texture.
