Beneath the pecans, the filling is golden brown, slightly bubbly, and has a textured, gooey look. The crust edges are light golden and slightly puffy, visible on the sides just under the filling. The dish is set on a light wooden board, on a stove with a white marbled background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

6 eggs (whisked)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter (melted)
2 cups Karo syrup
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans
1 cup pecan halves
1 Pillsbury Pie Crust Package (2 crusts)
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whisked eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and Karo syrup. Stir in the chopped pecans until fully incorporated.
Step 2: Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish well with non-stick cooking spray. Place one pie crust in the bottom of the dish. Pour in about 90% of the pecan filling evenly over the crust. Lay the second pie crust on top, then pour the remaining filling over it. Finally, arrange the pecan halves on top for a decorative finish.
Step 3: Bake the cobbler for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling.
Use dark corn syrup instead of light Karo syrup for a deeper, richer taste.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance the dessert experience.
If you prefer a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pie crusts available at many grocery stores.

Storage

Store any leftover pecan pie cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through. You can also cover with foil and gently warm in a 300-degree oven for 10-15 minutes.

How to Serve

A freshly baked pecan pie sits in a white ceramic baking dish. The pie has one thick layer, with a golden brown, slightly glossy filling topped densely with whole pecans that are deep brown with a textured, wrinkled surface. The crust is faintly visible around the edges, browned and slightly raised. The dish is resting on a wooden board, with a white marbled texture surface in the background.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the cobbler assembly a few hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

What can I substitute for Karo syrup?

If you don’t have Karo syrup, light corn syrup is the best substitute. Maple syrup or honey can be used, but they will slightly change the flavor and texture of the cobbler.
