Pecan Pie Cobbler Recipe

This Pecan Pie Cobbler recipe combines a traditional pecan pie with a cobbler for an easy dessert! The ingredients are layered in a baking dish, and hot water is poured over the top. Once baked, you get a delicious homemade cobbler with a golden crust and gooey pecan filling. It’s easy and best served with a big scoop of ice cream!

Sometimes the best desserts are the simple ones, and a hot water cobbler is one of the easiest! If you’ve never heard of this type of cobbler, I’m so excited to share it with you. It’s easy and delicious.

Hot Water Cobbler Recipe

Some cobbler recipes have you mix up a batter to pour over a filling in a pan. However, a hot water cobbler is totally different.

For this type of dessert, you layer melted butter with pecans and the dry ingredients in a baking dish, pour boiling water over the top, and it turns into the most fantastic cobbler once it’s baked!

For this version, we’re making a Southern pecan pie cobbler. It takes a pecan pie filling, combines it with a cobbler batter, and turns it into a warm, gooey cobbler. So there’s no pie crust to worry about and no complicated steps.

Sometimes it’s called crazy crust pecan pie because when you get all of the ingredients in the pan, you’ll think, “there’s no way this will work!” But it does, and it magically forms three distinct layers: a pecan filling with an amazing caramel sauce, fluffy soft cake, and a golden crust. It tastes like a crustless pecan pie with cake. In other words, it’s so good!

How to Make Pecan Pie Cobbler

1. Mix the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt with a wire whisk in a large bowl.
2. Next, whisk in the milk and vanilla. Set aside.
3. Place the sliced butter in a 9×13” baking pan and place it in the oven while it preheats.
4. Once butter is melted, remove the hot pan from the oven to your work surface and drop the flour mixture by the spoonful evenly over the melted butter.
5. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the flour and butter, and then sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the pecans.
6. Lastly, pour the boiling hot water over the top of all the ingredients.
7. Bake until puffed and set.

The only crazy thing about this pecan cobbler is how delicious it is! You might not go back to a regular pecan pie once you try it – it’s so easy. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• When you melt the butter in the pan, be careful transferring it back and forth to the oven. The pan will be hot!
• It’s delicious served hot or warm, but you can also serve it at room temperature. Don’t forget to add some whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
• You can store the cobbler at room temperature for up to two days or in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just keep it loosely covered with plastic wrap.

This old fashioned Peach Cobbler recipe is not only extremely easy to make from scratch, but it’s made with fresh or canned peaches so you can enjoy it all year round! It’s one of my favorite family recipes from my mom, and although I am bias, I think it’s the best of the best!

Peach season is pretty much the best time of the year, am I right?! I love going to “pick your own” farms or buying a large box from a local vendor. Peaches are one of those things I could never get sick of!

This peach cobbler recipe comes from the writers mom, and it is a family favorite recipe she made for us all the time growing up! The best part about it is that it literally takes 5 minutes to throw together!  You can use a quart jar of homemade canned peaches, but you can also use fresh peaches!

How to easily peel peaches:

I’ve found the easiest way to peel peaches is to gently lower 2-3 peaches at a time into a pot of boiling water. Leave them in the water for about 30 seconds, and then remove them to an ice-water bath. The ice water bath will shock them and keep the peach flesh from cooking, but the peach skin will be so easy to peel that you wont even need a knife!

How to make Peach Cobbler:

• Add the sliced peaches, sugar and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. Cook on medium heat for just a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and helped to bring out some juice from the peaches. Remove from heat and set aside.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice butter into pieces and add to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven.
• In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined. Pour the mixture into the pan, over the melted butter and smooth it into an even layer.

• Spoon the peaches and juice (or canned peaches, if using) over the batter. Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.

How to store and reheat peach cobbler:

Peach cobbler is best enjoyed warm, right after it’s baked. Store leftover cobbler covered, in the fridge for 4-5 days.

To reheat peach cobbler, use the microwave or oven. To reheat in the oven, remove it from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until warmed through. (Place tinfoil over it if it’s browning too much).

Tell me this isn’t the epitome of comfort food desserts?! A bowl of warm peach cobbler served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top is seriously my idea of heaven.
