Pecan Pie Cobbler is a rich, self-saucing dessert that delivers all the gooey sweetness of traditional pecan pie in an easier, scoopable cobbler format. It bakes into a golden, cake-like top with a buttery, caramel-style sauce underneath and plenty of toasted pecans in every bite, making it perfect for holidays, potlucks, or cozy family dinners.​

Pecan Pie Cobbler

Pecan Pie Cobbler takes the nostalgic flavors of pecan pie—brown sugar, butter, pecans, vanilla, and a hint of salt—and layers them into a simple batter that magically transforms into a cobbler with its own built-in sauce as it bakes. Rather than fussing with pie crust, rolling, and crimping, you whisk together a quick batter, top it with sugar and pecans, pour boiling water over the surface, and let the oven create the gooey bottom and tender top for you. The texture lands somewhere between a molten pecan pie filling and a soft cake, so you can scoop it into bowls rather than slice it into neat wedges.​

This style of dessert is inspired by self-saucing cobblers and puddings, where a sugar layer and hot liquid sink through the batter as it cooks to form a thick sauce underneath. In this pecan version, brown sugar and light corn syrup create that classic pecan pie sweetness, while melted butter and plenty of chopped pecans give the dish its signature richness and crunch. Baked in a 9×13-inch pan, it feeds a crowd and is especially convenient for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any gathering where you want a show-stopping dessert that is surprisingly easy to assemble.
