Rich and luscious, not only is Pecan Cobbler crazy simple to make, it’s crazy delicious too!
Pecan Cobbler
This Pecan Cobbler is a must-have on your dessert list! It’s packed with crunchy pecans and oozing with gooey caramel. Pecan Cobbler is a sweet buttery dessert that’s loaded with toasted pecans. Simple easy dessert uses just one pan.
This dessert by far is one of the best desserts I’ve ever made. If it’s not the best, it’s in the top five for sure!
Pecan Cobbler has a fluffy texture. The rich caramel sauce is created from butter and brown sugar baking to a saucy perfection.
About this recipe
Unlike most cobblers, this Pecan Cobbler is absent of any fruit. It’s rich and totally irresistible. Enjoy it plain or with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- I do not recommend using margarine in place of the butter, the caramel just isn’t as good using margarine. Stick with the real thing in this recipe.
- I tested this with self-rising flour, I haven’t made it with plain flour.
- Yes, this recipe has a lot of sugar. The sugar and butter make the caramel sauce and it’s amazing!
Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt added. To make your own, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Final Tips and Recommendations
- I cannot stress enough, I recommend using real butter only.
- As well, I do not recommend reducing either brown sugar or hot water.
- Additionally, I do not recommend reducing the amount of butter.
- Finally, I use whole milk.
This Pecan Cobbler is one of my favorite desserts – to make and to eat!You are just not going to believe how easy it is!

Good golly, Miss Molly! This is a seriously tasty treat. Four of us tried it while warm. Eyebrows were raised and “wows” were exclaimed. Absolutely amazing.
Paula says
👏🤸♀️🎉 I felt the same way the first time I made it. I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!
LW says
Will make this again at the holidays instead of pecan pie as very similar in flavor and much easier! I did reduce the brown sugar from 1 1/2 cups to only 1 cup and still very sweet and crunchy caramelized. Used hottest water from the tap and baked up beautifully thick and crispy in my 9×13 nonstick metal cake pan.
Christy Rosson says
Absolutely delicious! I noticed one comment about turning oven up to 375 to “finish” it because it wasnt done. I cooked at 350 for 30 minutes and the crust was a nice golden and toasted brown. The filling was a bit loose, wiggly, but have patience! When it cools, even slightly, it thickens nicely. I was tempted to not use all 1 1/2 cups of water because it seemed too wet, but glad I followed recipe exactly to get the right consistency in the caramel sauce. Thank you for this recipe. It always disappears at church dinners.
Smoq BBQ says
For some reason, I love cooking your recipes. It looks delicious, for sure this Pecan Cobbler is going to be on my table tonight. Thank you, Paula, for this simple yet delicious looking recipe.!
Annette says
Should this be refrigerated or stay at room temp?
Paula says
It can stay at room temp
Bren says
Be sure to use boiling water which the recipe does not specify or it is a watery mess
Paula says
It doesn’t have to be boiling, just hot.
Mandy says
My mom loves pecans. I have wanted to make a pecan cobbler for her for a long time and I found this recipe on an internet search and made it yesterday for her birthday. It was so easy and so so good. Unfortunately my husband is picky and isn’t crazy about nuts so he wasn’t crazy about this. But we think he’s just plain crazy for not loving nuts!!! I was nervous making this for the only birthday dessert when I’ve never made it before but I am so glad I took a chance. I followed the directions exactly except that I didn’t measure the pecans, I just put a bunch in the bottom of the pan, enough to about cover it. I figured I couldn’t use too many pecans. I probably used about what the recipe calls for or a little more.
Paula says
I’m so happy you liked it! My two sons don’t like nuts either. But, it doesn’t bother me, it’s just more cobbler for me! 😉
Edith says
I love this recipe. I made it last year for family reunion and I brought home an empty pan. Because we aren’t having company now, I downsized your recipe for two because we cannot afford the calories in leftovers!
These are my favorite pecans:

I’m a third generation customer and now I send a care package of these to my in-laws every once in a while. They stay fresh, plump and moist, by keeping them frozen and defrosting them in the refrigerator. When I don’t have time to repackage them into smaller bags I just pop the whole box into the freezer when they arrive.
Ana says
My husband doesn’t usually have a sweat tooth, but he does love caramel, pecans, and snicker doodle cookies, so… I combined those 3 of your cobbler recipes and made a pecan caramel doodle cobbler. 😊
Paula says
I LOVE that!! Now I’ve got to try it! I’m so happy you guys liked it.
Sybil says
Made this exactly per instructions, and it was delicious. My questions is it seemed a but soupy. I even put it in the refrigerator to try to get the sauce to thicken up. Any ideas? Cooked it 40 minutes.
Jeanette says
Do you think I could halve this recipe and make in an 8 x 8 pan? It’s just not practical for me to prepare the 9 x 13 size.
Thank you!
Paula says
Yes I do think it can be halved
Nancy says
Made a few changes. I used one cup of granular Swerve instead of 1 1/2 cups white sugar. I used 1 1/2 cup of brown sugar Swerve instead of regular brown sugar. This kept the flavor without the insulin rush and calories. I also used gluten-free flour with baking soda and salt. My husband and I thought it tasted great. Next time I will increase the amount of pecans. One cup is not enough.
Eeeee says
I had to raise the temperature on mine to 375 so we could finish cooking. I did 350 30 to 35 minutes it did nothing for mine.
Paula says
Hey there, you probably need to calibrate your oven. https://www.callmepmc.com/how-to-calibrate-your-oven/
Patty says
Made this yesterday for our family Thanksgiving and we scraped the bottom of the dish! It is VERY sweet, but everyone loved it!
Melanie says
Do you think this recipe would work if I used margarine? hee hee, just kidding. Looks absolutely scrumptious!
Annette says
Is there any way to turn the basic recipe into a peach cobbler? I love the crust!
Paula says
I have this recipe: https://www.callmepmc.com/peach-pecan-cobbler/
Kekejazz says
Can this be prepared a day ahead and baked the next day?
Paula says
I don’t recommend it.
Claudia Catlett says
Can you use Almond milk instead of whole milk in the Pecan Cobbler?
Paula says
Yes, but it will not be a creamy
Hazel nettles says
I had this at a restaurant and was glad to find receipt. Itsy sister’s favorite.i will make it for our 4th of July family gathering.
Vicki Karlsson says
My game group will absolutely love this.
Should I toast the pecans first – or do they get toasted in the process (like in the pie?)
Paula says
Either way. I’ve made it both ways and can’t tell the difference.
Joan Small says
I was looking for something different & I believe this is going to be a hit for our Easter dinner. I had planned on a bread pudding & pecan pie, well this is going to be better with two in one ! I thank you for your recipe & look forward to trying others also.
Paula says
You’re so welcome! Enjoy!
Lance says
Could you add peaches to the recipe?
Paula says
Yes, here’s that version https://www.callmepmc.com/peach-pecan-cobbler/
Gloria says
Can walnuts be substituted for the pecans?
Paula says
Yes
JayTee says
I love the concept of this recipe- we grow pecans on our farm.
For me and my family, this was way over the “too sweet” line and we could not eat it all.
Next time I’m going to cut the sugars in half and try again.
Christy says
Hi Paula, can’t wait to try this!!
Leslie says
I have made this twice. It is remarkable with vanilla ice-cream. I will make it again this week for company. Thank you for sharing this amazingly delicious and easy to make recipe.
Paula says
Thank you for your kind words!
LindaRoberts says
Pecan pie Bread Pudding
Joan Rush says
Made this today and the flavor is wonderful! It does however have so much more crust than filling. Is there a way to tweet it so that I have more filling? It seemed to soak up in the crust. Made it exactly by the recipe. Thanks
Paula says
thank you, I haven’t tried to get more filling, not sure if increasing those ratios will do the trick or not.
Pam Cison says
Made this several times. Always a hit with my family.
Absolutely delicious!!
Lisa Januska says
Making it now for our Christmas arty tonight, so excited to see what everyone thinks!!
