Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Oven
  • Toothpick

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Make sure there are no lumps!
  3. Pour the pumpkin filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
  7. Spoon the pecan cobbler topping evenly over the pumpkin filling. Don't worry if it doesn't completely cover the filling; it will spread as it bakes.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs). The filling should be set, but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set up a bit more.

Notes

Don't Overmix: Overmixing the topping can lead to a tough cobbler. Mix until just combined. For even baking, rotate the baking dish halfway through the baking time. If you prefer a less sweet cobbler, reduce the amount of sugar in the topping by 1/4 cup. If you have nut allergies, you can omit the pecans or substitute them with oats. To prevent burning, tent the baking dish with foil if the topping browns too quickly. Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
