With Thanksgiving right around the corner, menu prep is in full swing. Beyond the roast turkey, is there anything more important at a Thanksgiving feast than the dessert? I think not!
If you can’t choose between pumpkin pie and pecan pie for your table, we have a genius solution: pumpkin pecan cobbler. Why choose one flavor when you can have both? This cozy dessert combines them so you can enjoy two favorites in every forkful.
What is a pumpkin pecan cobbler?
In the dessert family of cobblers, a pumpkin pecan cobbler brings a classic fall combination to a homey dessert. While peach cobbler tends to be what instantly comes to mind at the word “cobbler,” the dessert can be made with a variety of fruit fillings. (Or chicken, like this chicken cobbler recipe calls for!) Get ready for a creation that is so mouthwatering you’ll be asking for another slice in no time.
How to Make Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler
This recipe from creator Kiley O’Donnell is a soft and gooey addition to any fall potluck, Friendsgiving or holiday table. She describes the dessert as “literally fall in a dish,” so we’re sold.
Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1-1/2 cups hot water
Editor’s Tip: In a pinch, replace the pecans with granola. Kiley uses this Purely Elizabeth granola out of necessity, since she didn’t have pecans. However, Kiley calls the granola addition “the best decision ever,” which makes this swap tempting to try.
Directions
Step 1: Mix dry ingredients
First, whisk flour (Kiley uses Bob’s Red Mill), pumpkin pie spice, salt, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl.
Step 2: Mix wet ingredients
Then, whisk together the wet ingredients in another bowl: pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract. Kiley suggests mixing the ingredients together “until the mixture is smooth.”
Step 3: Combine wet and dry ingredients
Combine the ingredients in a single large bowl and mix, preferably with a spatula or wooden spoon. Expect the batter to be pretty thick as you’re mixing. Take that batter and spread it into a prepared baking dish.
You can use an 8-inch cast-iron skillet, round pan or 8×8-inch baking dish. Just coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 4: Mix topping and add to the batter
Now, it’s time for the topping. Start off by mixing the two sugars in a medium bowl before adding the pecans. Then, lightly sprinkle that topping mixture onto the top of the cobbler batter until it’s covered.
Step 5: Pour on hot water
Next, pour really hot water all over the top of the topping. This step is so important!
If you’re not sure how hot the water should be, try microwaving the water for 2 minutes like Kiley did. She emphasizes that you should not stir this mixture. Move the baking dish onto a baking sheet.
Step 6: Bake and serve
Once your oven is preheated to 350F, bake the cobbler for 50 to 55 minutes. It’s not an exact science, so you’ll know this cobbler is done for sure once its center is golden and set. Remove your cobbler from the oven, then allow it to cool for a solid 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The dessert should be all gooey on the bottom, which means it will melt right in your mouth.
Users in Kiley’s Instagram comments couldn’t get enough of this dessert. “Unreal goodness,” one wrote. Another commented, “will just be over here dreaming of this…”, a sentiment I’m fully on board with!
