Ingredients
Scale
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
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter to ensure the cobbler doesn’t stick and for easy serving.
- Mix Pumpkin Base: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and ground spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves) with salt. Whisk this mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish, creating the base layer of the cobbler.
- Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted unsalted butter and stir until a thick batter forms. Carefully spread this batter evenly over the pumpkin layer to form the cobbler’s topping.
- Add Brown Sugar and Pecan Sauce: Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the topping. Then slowly pour the boiling water over the entire dish without stirring, which will create the sweet pecan sauce as it bakes. Finally, scatter the chopped pecans on top to add crunch and nutty flavor.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The cobbler is done when the topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling underneath, indicating everything is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the sauce to set slightly and makes serving easier and more enjoyable.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly ground spices to enhance the flavor of the pumpkin base.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugars slightly but maintain enough to achieve the syrupy pecan sauce.
- Any baking dish around 9×13 inches works; adjust baking time slightly if using a smaller or larger dish.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated; the sauce may thicken when cold, so warm slightly before serving.
