Ingredients
Cobbler:
- 1 ½ cups 1.1 GF flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 8 tbsp cold butter
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 cup Fisher pecans, chopped
Pecan Pie Filling:
- 1 ½ cups corn syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups Fisher pecans, chopped
- ⅛ tsp ground allspice
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Step-by-step Directions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Generously butter a 7×10 inch baking dish, ensuring it’s at least 2 ½” high to accommodate the cobbler.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, combine all the Pecan Pie Filling ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and pour it into the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Prepare the Cobbler Topping
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the cobbler. Using a pastry cutter, cut the cold butter into the mixture until you have pea-sized crumbs. Gently stir in the buttermilk until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
Scoop equal-sized portions of the cobbler dough and gently place them on top of the pecan pie filling in the dish.
Step 5: Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden and set.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from oven. Let it cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set, making it easier to serve.
Servings and Preparation/Cooking Time
- Servings: 8-10
- Preparation Time: 20 minutes
- Cooking Time: 40-45 minutes
Tips for Storage and Reheating
- Storage: Keep leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze the baked cobbler for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheating: Warm in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Microwaving is quicker but may soften the crust.
