Pecan cobbler is a dessert that bakes pecans along with sweet corn syrup and sugar on top of a cookie crust. Both the filling and the crust are typically made from scratch by the chef before baking. The basic recipes can be adapted to suit any taste preference and can also include fruit, chocolate and caramel.
Cobbler is a type of deep dessert that is a variation on the traditional pie. It was popularized in the American West during the 19th century by pioneers who needed a quick sweet dish that used all available ingredients and could be cooked over an open campfire. Sweet nuts and fruits are baked together under a flaky layer of basic cookie dough. Depending on the recipe used and the chef’s preferences, the cookie dough may be layered on the bottom of the cobbler’s dish and on top of the filling, or it may be dropped with rounded spoons onto the filling only.
Other ingredients used in pecan cobbler typically include corn syrup, sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla. These are mixed together with several cups of coarsely chopped pecan halves and poured into a deep roasting pan. They are then layered on cookie dough and left to bake in a hot oven. This recipe can also be cooked in a Dutch oven or deep cast iron skillet fitted with a lid over an open fire. Proper temperatures can be achieved by immersing the cookware in hot, glowing coals until the crust is golden brown or until the filling appears set.
The pecan cobbler recipe varies from the traditional cobbler in that the pecan filling is added to the pan last. This mixture is allowed to cook over the crust ingredients, which then rise to form around the pecan filling. The crust, usually made from butter, flour and water, can be mixed and kneaded like dough before rolling out onto the cooking surface. It can also be assembled into a dump cake where the ingredients are prepared individually and then layered, on top of each other, in the pan instead of a mixing bowl.
This basic recipe can be adapted to include chocolate, caramel or apples. Other ingredients need to be layered together with the filling before the cooking process. The finished pecan cobbler can be served hot, on its own, or with sweet cream.
