Scale
Cobbler:
- 1 1/2 cups 1.1 GF flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 8 tbsp cold butter
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup Fisher pecans, chopped
Pecan Pie Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups corn syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups Fisher pecans, chopped
- 1/8 tsp ground allspice
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Butter a 7×10-inch baking dish with at least 2 ½ inches of depth to ensure the cobbler doesn’t stick and bakes evenly.
- Mix Pecan Pie Filling: In a large bowl, combine the corn syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, eggs, light brown sugar, chopped pecans, ground allspice, and kosher salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Pour this filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Cobbler Topping Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the GF or all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
- Cut in Butter: Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the dry mixture until pea-sized crumbs form. This step creates a flaky texture for the cobbler topping.
- Add Buttermilk and Mix: Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until the mixture just comes together, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the chopped pecans to add crunch and flavor to the cobbler topping.
- Assemble Cobbler: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop equal-sized portions of the cobbler dough over the pecan pie filling, covering it as evenly as possible but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping turns golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted in the topping should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature either as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use a certified GF flour blend that measures similarly to all-purpose flour.
- Cold butter is key for flaky cobbler topping. Keep it refrigerated until cutting into the dry ingredients.
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing in the pecan pie filling.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting the amount of light brown sugar in the filling to taste.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
