A rich, creamy pecan pie cobbler with a gooey nutty custard filling and a rustic drop-biscuit topping. This easy dessert combines the flavors of pecan pie with the comfort of cobbler, requiring no crust rolling and delivering consistent, crowd-pleasing results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and slightly pale.
  3. Stir in the pecan halves until fully coated, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  5. In a small cup, mix heavy cream and 2 tablespoons melted butter, then pour into the dry ingredients.
  6. Stir gently with a fork until just combined; the batter should be lumpy and thick.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the topping batter over the pecan filling, leaving some pecans visible.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling vigorously around the edges.
  9. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil after 30 minutes.
  10. Let the cobbler cool in the pan for at least 20-30 minutes before serving to allow the custard to set.

Notes

Ensure eggs are at room temperature to prevent the butter from seizing. Do not overmix the topping batter to keep it tender. The cobbler must rest for at least 20-30 minutes after baking to set properly, otherwise the filling will be runny. Can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
