Pecan Cobbler
Pecan Pie Cobbler is an easy dessert made with cake mix and 6 other simple ingredients. Enjoy crunchy pecans in a warm, rich cobbler that melts in your mouth!
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 15.25 oz butter pecan cake mix (1 standard box)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While oven preheats, put the stick of butter in a medium baking dish and place in the oven to melt.
- Mix a box of butter pecan cake mix and 1 cup of milk until smooth. Once the butter is melted, pour the cake batter into the baking dish over the butter (without mixing).
- Sprinkle 1 cup pecans and 1 teaspoon cinnamon over the cake batter without mixing.
- Mix 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of hot water in a 2-cup measuring cup until sugar is dissolved. Gently pour this mixture over the sprinkled pecans without mixing into the batter.
- Bake cobbler at 350 degrees for 33-37 minutes, until top is set and beginning to turn crispy.
Notes
- Don’t stir the layers! This is what creates the gooey syrup and crisp cake topping.
- Best served fresh within 30–60 minutes of baking.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
- Freezing not recommended - texture doesn’t hold up.
- Make-ahead: prep dry ingredients/pecans a day early, then assemble and bake.
- To reheat: 300°F oven for 10–15 minutes, or microwave a serving for 20–30 seconds.
- If the center looks jiggly, that’s normal - it sets as it cools. For runny cobbler, bake 5 more minutes.
- Dry cobbler usually means over-baking - check at 40 minutes and cover with foil if browning too quickly.
