Pecan Pie Cobbler

Pecan Pie Cobbler is a delightful twist on the traditional pecan pie, combining the best elements of a classic pie with the comforting appeal of a cobbler. This dessert is perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or any occasion where you want to impress your guests with a rich, sweet treat. The cobbler features layers of flaky pie crust, gooey pecan filling, and a beautiful topping of pecan halves, creating a symphony of textures and flavors that are sure to please.

My love for Pecan Pie Cobbler began during a Thanksgiving dinner at my grandmother’s house. She had always been famous for her pecan pie, but one year she decided to surprise us with this cobbler version. The warm, aromatic filling combined with the buttery crust and the crunch of pecans made it an instant family favorite. The added touch of serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream elevated the experience to pure bliss. This dessert has since become a staple at our holiday dinners, and I’m thrilled to share this cherished recipe with you.

Ingredients
1 Box refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on the box

2 1/2 cups light corn syrup

2 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted

4 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

6 eggs, slightly beaten

2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Butter-flavor cooking spray

2 cups pecan halves

Vanilla ice cream, if desired

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish and Crust
Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high initial temperature helps to set the bottom crust quickly, preventing it from becoming soggy.

Prepare the Baking Dish:

Grease a 13×9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with shortening or butter-flavor cooking spray to ensure the cobbler does not stick to the dish.
