Pecan Pie Cobbler is a warm, gooey southern dessert with the wonderful crunch of pecans. So much easier to make than a pie, but it has all the flavor of a pecan pie.
Pecan Pie Cobbler Recipe
You’ll definitely want to serve this southern dessert with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The butter and sugar combine to make an amazing caramel sauce. There’s also brickle toffe bits added to the cobbler for extra flavor. Every bite is so rich, buttery and amazingly sweet.

This dessert is amazing . Loved it and it’s a keeper.
This Pecan Pie Cobbler is such an amazing fall dessert. You’ll make this cobbler pretty much the same way you would a fruit cobbler.
How To Make
First melt a stick of butter in a 9×13-inch pan by placing it in a 350 degree oven until melted. Watch it carefully so you don’t burn the butter.
Stir together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Then stir in the milk and vanilla.
Recipe Tip
Pecans can be really pricy. When they go on sale or are in season, buy a big batch and freeze them.
Once the butter is melted, spoon the batter into the pan as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the pecans, brown sugar, and toffee bits on top then slowly pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water evenly into the baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes and get ready to dig into the most delicious gooey pecan pie dessert you have ever tasted.
Storage
Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days. Rewarm in the microwave before serving.

My husband loves this recipe! If you love pecan pie and not the dry crust. Then this is for you!
This dessert is amazing . Loved it and it’s a keeper.
This is amazingly good. I like it better the next day even
I first made this last summer on our sailboat in my small oven and only made a 3/4 recipe. I made it for Thanksgiving And Christmas (everyone loved it)! It’s my favorite dessert to bring to a potluck! Thanks for a great recipe, so much easier than a pie! Served with ice cream or whipped cream!
Bakers!! I’m confused by all the water questions!!?? Most sticky cobblers have hot water poured over top of batter and then placed into the oven! Comes out incredibly delicious!!
Please explain the water?… everyone is confused.that part makes no sense
Once the butter is melted, spoon the batter into the pan as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the pecans, brown sugar, and toffee bits on top then slowly pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water evenly into the baking pan.
Sounds wonderful but I am a bit confused. Does the water get drizzled over the batter?
I have same question about the water! Is water poured over the contents of baking dish or is baking dish put into another pan that has water in it to bake?
This is the dessert of my dreams! Looks amazing.
Do you mean pour the water in the pan along with the batter? Or in a second pan ?
Only one pan is used. Pour water over pecans.
Into the batter.
