Description
Pumpkin Cobbler is a cozy fall dessert made with pumpkin, brown sugar, pecans, and warm spices. It forms its own gooey caramel sauce as it bakes—perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Topping:
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Pour melted butter into a 9×13 baking dish and sprinkle chopped pecans over it.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk pumpkin, vanilla, and sugar together.
4. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Stir until just combined.
5. Spoon batter gently over the pecan-butter mixture. Do not mix.
6. In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Sprinkle evenly over batter.
7. Carefully pour hot water over the entire dish—do not stir.
8. Bake for 45–50 minutes until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.
9. Let sit 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use unsalted butter to better control salt level.
Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel.
You can prepare the cobbler a day in advance—just add hot water right before baking.
Leftovers keep in the fridge for 2 days or freeze up to 1 month.
Reheat in oven at 350°F until warmed through.
