Description
Homemade Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler is a warm, gooey fall dessert with spiced pumpkin and pecans that bakes into its own caramel-like sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Stir in pumpkin purée, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Spread batter evenly into the baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix pecans, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
- Carefully pour hot water over the top (do not stir!).
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden and bubbling.
- Let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls and enjoy warm—perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Let the cobbler rest 5–10 minutes before serving to set slightly.
- This recipe does not call for lemon or lime juice.
- The cobbler thickens as it bakes due to the combination of pumpkin puree, flour, and the sugary topping forming a light, caramel-like sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
