Ingredients

For a delectable Pecan Pie Delight, you will need the following:

Pecan Pie Filling:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Cobbler Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup milk

Step-by-step Directions

Follow these detailed steps to create your Pecan Pie Delight:

1. Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar size casserole dish to prepare it for the filling.

2. Make the Pecan Pie Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, light corn syrup, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth. Stir in the pecan halves and set the mixture aside.

3. Make the Cobbler Topping

In a separate mixing bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and integrate it with the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mix resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.

4. Assemble the Cobbler

Pour the pecan pie filling into the prepared baking dish. Dollop the cobbler topping in spoonfuls over the filling, which will spread and form a crust as it bakes.

5. Bake

Bake the dessert in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. It’s ready when the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

6. Cool

Allow the baked dessert to cool for 10-15 minutes. This resting period helps the filling set properly.
