Ingredients
Scale
For the Pumpkin Filling:
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Pecan Topping:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Add the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Pecan Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the pumpkin filling in the baking dish.
- Bake the Cobbler: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pumpkin filling is set and the topping is golden brown and crisp. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, though it may have a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to serve. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon to the pumpkin filling.
- This cobbler can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
