Ingredients
Scale
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- 1 ½ cups pecan halves (for topping)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Prepare the First Crust – Roll out one pie crust and place it in the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
- Make the Filling – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Assemble the Cobbler – Pour half of the pecan filling over the pre-baked crust. Place the second pie crust on top, then pour the remaining filling over it. Sprinkle the pecan halves evenly over the top.
- Bake to Perfection – Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The center should still have a slight jiggle when done.
- Cool & Serve – Let the cobbler cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Enjoy warm with ice cream or whipped cream!
Notes
- Baking the bottom crust first prevents sogginess.
- The cobbler will continue to set as it cools, so don’t worry if it looks a little soft when fresh out of the oven.
- For a boozy twist, add 1-2 tablespoons of bourbon to the filling!
- Storage: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds or in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes.
- Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the cobbler, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh the next day.
