Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for batter)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

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 prepare for baking your cobbler.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves thoroughly, then set this mixture aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a smaller bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter (or vegetable oil), and vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. Create Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently to form a thick batter. Pour this batter evenly into a small 8-inch casserole dish with high sides.
  5. Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, stir together the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and chopped pecans.
  6. Assemble Cobbler: Evenly spread the topping mixture over the surface of the batter in the casserole dish. Carefully pour the 1 1/2 cups of very hot water over everything without stirring to keep the layers distinct.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet (to catch any bubbling overflow) and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the center is set and bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. For best results, serve warm with additional chopped pecans and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Do not stir after pouring the hot water over the topping; this creates the characteristic syrupy texture under the cobbler topping.
  • Using a baking sheet under the casserole dish helps catch any spills during baking.
  • If you prefer, substitute butter with vegetable oil for a dairy-free option.
  • Ensure water is very hot to help dissolve the sugars and create a syrupy layer.
  • Best served warm with vanilla ice cream to complement the spices.
