Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the flour and butter mixture evenly over the pumpkin layer. Do not stir.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and chopped pecans. Sprinkle this mixture over the flour layer.
  8. Gently drizzle the maple syrup over the top layer.
  9. Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire surface of the cobbler. Do not pour directly onto one spot; try to distribute it evenly.
  10. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For a Crock Pot Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler variation, prepare the layers as directed but place them in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
  • If you want a richer topping, substitute 1/4 cup of the boiling water with 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee.
  • This dessert tastes best served warm, about 15 minutes after removing it from the oven.
