Ingredients
For the Cobbler:
- 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 cups very hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and spices. Set aside.
- In a smaller bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until a thick batter forms. Pour this batter into a small 8-inch casserole dish with high sides.
- In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Evenly spread this mixture over the batter.
- Carefully pour the hot water over the entire cobbler without stirring. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the center is set. (Place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips.)
- Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with additional pecans and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch.
Dig in and enjoy this delightful autumn dessert!
