Ingredients
Let’s gather everything you need to create this autumn delight. With a few pantry staples and some seasonal favorites, you’ll have this cobbler ready in no time.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water
If you’re missing something, don’t fret. You can substitute the milk with almond milk for a dairy-free version, and if pecans aren’t your thing, walnuts make a great alternative.
Instructions
Cooking at home should be a joy, not a chore. Here’s how you can bring this cobbler to life with ease and confidence.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Add the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, then spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the batter.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with 1 1/2 cups of boiling water until dissolved. Carefully pour this mixture over the batter in the baking dish—don’t stir it.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm. The cobbler will have a layer of sauce at the bottom and a crispy, nutty top.
Pro tip: While baking, the aroma will fill your home with warmth and anticipation. It’s the kind of magic that makes cooking such a rewarding experience.
