Ingredients
To bring this delicious cobbler to life, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Pumpkin Puree: 1 can (15 oz)
- Granulated Sugar: 1 cup
- Heavy Cream: 1 cup
- Large Eggs: 3
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Ground Nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
- Ground Ginger: 1/4 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
- Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Unsalted Butter (melted): 1/2 cup
- Packed Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Chopped Pecans: 1/2 cup
Directions
Follow these simple steps to create your Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent the cobbler from sticking.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Prepare the Topping: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, packed brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Mix until the pecans are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the pumpkin batter.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The cobbler is ready when it is set in the center and the pecan topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Additional Tips
- Best Served Warm: This cobbler is best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. The flavors meld beautifully when served at this temperature.
- Add a Topping: Enhance the flavor and texture by adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
