Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 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
Crust
- 1 Pillsbury Pie Crust Package (2 crusts)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whisked eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and Karo syrup. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated. Fold in the chopped pecans evenly to distribute the nutty texture throughout the filling.
- Prepare baking dish and crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish generously with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place one pie crust at the bottom of the dish ensuring it is evenly spread and covers the entire base.
- Assemble first layer: Pour about 90% of the prepared pecan filling over the bottom crust, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface. This layer will soak into the crust as it bakes, creating a rich foundation.
- Add top crust and remaining filling: Carefully place the second pie crust over the filling. Pour the remaining 10% of the pecan filling on top of this crust, spreading it gently to maintain an even layer.
- Top with pecan halves: Finish by sprinkling the pecan halves generously on top of the final filling layer for a decorative crunch and added texture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes. Bake until the filling is set—no longer jiggly—and the crust turns golden brown and cooked through thoroughly.
- Serve: Once baked, allow the cobbler to cool slightly to set fully before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy this luscious pecan pie cobbler dessert!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh pecans to enhance flavor and texture.
- Ensure the filling is fully set before removing from the oven to avoid runny centers.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the filling firm up.
- You can serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the white sugar to ¾ cup.
