Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
4. Spread the pumpkin filling mixture evenly in the greased baking dish.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping mixture evenly over the pumpkin filling.
6. In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture over the cobbler topping.
7. Carefully pour the hot water over the top. Do not stir; leave it as is.
8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown, and the pumpkin filling is set. The pecan topping will become a delicious, gooey layer underneath.
9. Let the Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s best served warm, and you can garnish it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

This Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler is a delightful dessert that combines the classic fall flavors of pumpkin and pecans. Enjoy it with family and friends during the holiday season or whenever you’re in the mood for a comforting treat.
