Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir in the pecan halves until well mixed.
- Layer the pie crust: Unroll one pie crust and place it in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and flour.
- Add the filling: Pour half of the pecan mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly. Top with the second pie crust and pour the remaining pecan mixture on top.
- Add hot water: Carefully pour the hot water around the edges of the dish (do not pour directly on the filling). This will help create a gooey cobbler texture.
- Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The center may still be slightly jiggly but will set as it cools.
- Cool and serve: Let the cobbler cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Tips for the Best Pecan Pie Cobbler
- Use high-quality pecans: Fresh pecans will give the cobbler the best flavor and texture.
- Make it ahead: This cobbler can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Simply reheat in the oven before serving.
- Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of brown sugar or use dark corn syrup for a richer flavor.
Perfect Pairings
Pecan Pie Cobbler is delicious on its own but truly shines when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. For an extra special touch, drizzle with caramel sauce or sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty combination.
