A rich and gooey dessert that marries the best parts of pecan pie and cobbler. Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler is buttery, nutty, and layered with sweet brown sugar syrup—perfect for holidays or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup – Forms the base of the cobbler batter.
  • Granulated Sugar: ¾ cup – Adds sweetness and caramelizes into the perfect syrup.
  • Baking Powder: 2 teaspoons – Helps the cobbler rise gently during baking.
  • Salt: ¼ teaspoon – Balances the sweetness and deepens the flavor.
  • Milk: ½ cup – Brings the batter together and adds softness.
  • Butter: ½ cup (1 stick), melted – Adds richness and flavor throughout.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – Enhances the depth of the brown sugar and pecans.
  • Brown Sugar: 1 ½ cups – Creates a rich, gooey caramel-like sauce as it bakes.
  • Pecans: 1 ½ cups, chopped – Provide crunch and that signature pecan flavor.
  • Boiling Water: 1 ½ cups – Transforms the sugar into a luscious syrup during baking.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle melted butter evenly over the top—do not stir.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Sprinkle chopped pecans and brown sugar evenly over the batter.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Slowly pour boiling water over everything in the dish. Again, do not stir.
  6. Finishing Touches: Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Let rest 10–15 minutes before serving. Scoop warm cobbler into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Toast pecans before baking to enhance their flavor and crunch.
  • Do not stir once layers are added—this creates the syrupy base.
  • If browning too quickly, tent with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
