Ingredients
Scale
Pecan Pie Filling
- 1 ½ cups corn syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs (room temperature)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 cups Fisher pecans (chopped)
- ⅛ tsp ground allspice
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Cobbler Crust
- 1 ½ cups 1.1 GF flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 8 tbsp cold butter
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 cup Fisher pecans (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 7×10-inch baking dish with sides at least 2 ½ inches high to prevent spilling.
- Mix the pecan pie filling: In a large bowl, combine the corn syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, eggs, light brown sugar, chopped pecans, ground allspice, and kosher salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the cobbler crust dry mix: In a separate bowl, mix together the gluten-free or all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt.
- Incorporate butter: Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.
- Add buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the crumb mixture and mix gently until just combined to form a dough.
- Assemble cobbler: Scoop even portions of the cobbler dough and place them evenly over the pecan pie filling, covering as much surface as possible.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cobbler crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set fully. Enjoy your delicious Pecan Pie Cobbler warm or at room temperature.
