Pioneer Woman Pecan Pie Cobbler Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 box Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts), softened as directed on box
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups dark corn syrup (e.g., Dark Karo Syrup)
  • 6 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans or pecan halves
  • Butter-flavor cooking spray

How To Make Pioneer Woman Pecan Pie Cobbler

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/gas 4). Grease a 13×9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with shortening or butter-flavor cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the First Crust: Remove one pie crust from the pouch and unroll it on a work surface. Roll into a 13×9-inch rectangle, pinching together any torn spots. Place the crust in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together dark corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and slightly beaten eggs until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans or pecan halves.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour half of the pecan filling over the crust in the baking dish. Remove the second pie crust from the pouch, unroll, and spread it over the filling, fitting it as best as possible. Pour the remaining filling over the top crust.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. Check for doneness by gently shaking the dish; the center should be firm.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes, or as long as you can wait, to allow the filling to set. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Recipe Tips

  • Why layer the crust? The double crust mimics a cobbler’s structure, adding flaky texture amidst the gooey pecan filling.
  • Can I make this ahead? Bake the cobbler up to a day in advance, cool completely, and store covered in the refrigerator. Reheat at 325°F (165°C) for 10–15 minutes before serving.
  • How do I prevent a soggy crust? Ensure the bottom crust is pressed firmly into the greased dish and avoid overfilling with liquid before baking.
  • Can I use light corn syrup? Dark corn syrup adds a deeper flavor, but light corn syrup can be used for a milder taste.

What To Serve With Pioneer Woman Pecan Pie Cobbler
