This pumpkin pecan cobbler is a cozy, self-saucing fall dessert with spiced pumpkin cake on top and a rich caramel sauce underneath. It’s easy to make, full of warm spices, and perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ cup pumpkin purée
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (for topping)
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 ½ cups very hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish with high sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In another bowl, combine pumpkin purée, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  7. Gently pour the hot water over the topping—do not stir.
  8. Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is set and golden.
  9. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream and extra pecans if desired.

Notes

  • Swap pecans with walnuts or omit nuts for a nut-free version.
  • Add a pinch of ground ginger for extra spice and warmth.
  • Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold.
