Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 3 cups hot water
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 0.5 cup evaporated milk
- 0.5 cup melted butter
Spice and Nut Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F (175°C) and generously coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until thoroughly blended.
- In a separate container, gently combine evaporated milk with melted butter, creating a smooth liquid mixture.
- Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender texture.
- Transfer the resulting batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to distribute it evenly across the surface.
- Artfully scatter chopped pecans and brown sugar across the top of the batter, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Carefully stream hot water over the entire surface of the cobbler without disturbing the existing layers.
- Position the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-55 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and a slightly firm center.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 10-15 minutes, enabling the dessert to set and develop a rich, caramelized texture before serving.
Notes
- Swap out regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the same delicious texture and taste.
- Toast pecans briefly before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and create a more complex, aromatic profile for the dessert.
- Use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar for a deeper, more intense caramel undertone that complements the pumpkin’s richness.
- Drizzle extra caramel sauce just before serving to add a luxurious finishing touch and elevate the dessert’s visual appeal and sweetness.
