Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Fisher pecans, chopped
- 1 ½ cups corn syrup
- 3 eggs (room temperature)
- 8 tbsps cold butter
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free or all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ⅛ tsp ground allspice
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously butter a 7×10 inch (18×25 centimeters) deep baking dish, ensuring complete coverage.
- Filling Creation: Whisk pecan pie filling ingredients in a large bowl until smooth and uniformly blended, then evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Topping Assembly: Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then use a pastry cutter to integrate cold butter, breaking it down into fine, pea-sized crumbs. Gently fold in buttermilk, mixing minimally to maintain a light, tender texture.
- Topping Placement: Drop even spoonfuls of cobbler dough across the pecan filling surface, aiming for consistent coverage and a rustic appearance.
- Baking Process: Position the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, monitoring until the topping transforms into a rich golden-brown and the filling sets completely.
- Cooling and Serving: Remove from oven and allow the cobbler to rest 10-15 minutes, enabling the filling to stabilize and facilitating clean, elegant slicing. Serve warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Butter Baking Dish Thoroughly: Ensure complete coverage to prevent sticking and achieve easy serving.
- Keep Butter Cold: Chilled butter creates flakier, more tender cobbler topping with better texture.
- Avoid Overmixing Topping: Gentle mixing prevents tough, dense dough; stop stirring when ingredients just combine.
- Let Cobbler Rest Properly: Allowing 10-15 minutes cooling time helps filling set and improves slice presentation.
