Ingredients

Scale

For the Cobbler

  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 cups very hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cobbler.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and leavening throughout the dry mixture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter (or vegetable oil), and vanilla extract together until well combined.
  4. Create Batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently until a thick batter forms, ensuring all ingredients are incorporated without overmixing.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the batter into a small 8-inch casserole dish with high sides, spreading it evenly.
  6. Make Topping: In another bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the casserole dish.
  7. Add Hot Water: Carefully pour 1 1/2 cups of very hot water over the entire dish without stirring. This will create a syrupy sauce while baking.
  8. Bake: Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet to catch any spillover and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the middle is set and the topping is bubbly.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the cobbler cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with additional chopped pecans and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Be sure not to stir after pouring hot water to allow the sauce to form properly underneath the topping.
  • Using a baking sheet under the casserole dish prevents oven messes from bubbling over.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use vegetable oil instead of butter.
  • This cobbler is best enjoyed warm, but leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
