PECAN PIE COBBLER

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the cobbler from sticking.

2. Make the Cobbler Batter:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.
• Once the mixture is smooth, whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. The batter should be thick, but pourable.
• Pour this batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

3. Make the Pecan Pie Filling:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved, and the mixture is smooth.
• Stir in the pecans, and then pour this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the pecan mixture will settle on top of the batter while baking, creating a delicious topping.

4. Bake the Cobbler:

• Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (though it may have some pecan gooeyness). The edges should be set, and the center should have a slight jiggle when shaken.
• If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent burning.

5. Cool and Serve:

• Let the pecan pie cobbler cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. The cobbler will firm up a bit as it cools, making it easier to cut and serve.
• Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
