Pecan Pie Filling
- 1 1/2 cups 1.1 GF flour (or all-purpose)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 8 tbsp cold butter
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup Fisher pecans (chopped)
- 1 1/2 cups corn syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs (room temp)
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 cups Fisher pecans (chopped)
- 1/8 tsp ground allspice
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 7×10 inch baking dish with at least 2 ½ inches in height to prevent sticking and to ensure easy serving.
- Mix Pecan Pie Filling: In a large bowl, combine all the pecan pie filling ingredients—corn syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, eggs, light brown sugar, chopped pecans, ground allspice, and kosher salt. Stir thoroughly until well blended, then pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish evenly.
- Prepare Cobbler Dry Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the GF flour (or all-purpose), baking powder, ground cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Cut the cold butter into this dry mix using a pastry cutter until pea-sized crumbs form, creating the right texture for the cobbler topping.
- Add Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the cobbler dry mixture and stir just until incorporated, forming a soft dough that holds together but remains fluffy.
- Assemble Cobbler Topping: Using a spoon, scoop equal-sized portions of the cobbler dough and gently place or drop these pieces on top of the pecan pie filling, covering as much as possible but leaving some of the filling visible.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and set, and the pecan filling is bubbling and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
