Why I love this pecan pie cobbler

I love how easy this pecan pie cobbler is to make, so a warm, comforting dessert is always at hand.

I love that this cobbler is very much pudding cake like, with a sweet sauce on the bottom and cake on the top.

I also love how this cobbler channels the classic flavours of pecan pie. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Toffee Bits – this cobbler uses toffee bits to heighten the caramel flavour of the cobbler. In Canada, these would be Skor™ bits. They might be Heath™ bits elsewhere.

Recipe Tips

I’ve baked this pecan cobbler in an 8-inch top diameter cast iron skillet. Any round 8-inch-ish baking pan will work here though.

If you’re feeding a crowd and would like a larger version of this dessert, simply double the recipe and bake up in a 9×13-inch pan.

As tempting as this one will be to eat the minute it comes out of the oven, allow it to stand 15 minutes before digging in. This will allow everything (pan/sauce) to cool slightly, but also time for the toffee sauce to thicken up slightly.

I love to serve this cobbler with a scoop of ice cream. As it is quite sweet on its own, whipped cream might be too sweet.

Top Tip!

For my fellow Canadians … substitute raisins for the pecans and turn this one into a Butter Tart Cobbler :)
