How To Make Pecan Pie Cobbler Easy Cobbler Recipe For Holidays

This Pecan Pie Cobbler combines the buttery crust and gooey filling of a classic pecan pie with the rustic charm and ease of a cobbler. Layered with chopped and whole pecans, and baked between flaky pie crusts, this foolproof dessert is perfect for holidays, potlucks, or any gathering where you want a crowd-pleasing sweet dish without the fuss of traditional pie-making.

Ingredients

Scale

For the filling:

  • 2 cups light corn syrup
  • 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves

For the crust:

  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts (from a 14.1-ounce package)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Unroll one pie crust and press it into the bottom of the prepared dish. Pierce the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  3. Bake the bottom crust for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Stir in chopped pecans and pecan halves.
  6. Pour half of the pecan mixture over the pre-baked crust in the dish.
  7. Unroll the second pie crust and place it gently over the pecan filling.
  8. Pour the remaining pecan filling over the top crust, spreading it evenly.
  9. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  10. Let cool for at least 20-30 minutes before serving. Can be served warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toast the pecans in the oven for 5–7 minutes before adding to the filling.

  • If using homemade crust, chill it for 30 minutes after pressing into the baking dish to prevent shrinking.

  • Make this dessert up to 2 days in advance and reheat gently for best results.

  • To make it extra indulgent, serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

  • For a festive twist, add a splash of bourbon or a pinch of cinnamon to the filling.
