This pumpkin cobbler recipe is to die for.
I mean, I knew it would be good, but seriously, you just can't possibly understand how amazing the pumpkin caramel sauce is until you've tried this cobbler served warm with vanilla ice cream.
You see, the last step before putting this cobbler in the oven is to pour very hot water over the pumpkin/egg/flour/spice mixture that is layered with sugar and pecans.
What happens in the oven is magical. The hot water soaks into the cobbler gathering all of the flavors along the way, and creates a pumpkin caramel sauce at the bottom of the pan that is amazingly delicious.
The crunch of the pecans makes this dish. There's so many textures from the soft pumpkin cake to the freshly chopped pecans to the caramel sauce.
So, so good.
Tips:
- Remember to line the baking sheet with aluminum foil just in case the cobbler bubbles over the side of the dish.
- It's best to use a baking sheet with a rim.
- Remember when you pour the hot water over the cake to just let it sink in. DO NOT STIR IT. It will just sink in on its own during the baking process.
You should definitely try this pumpkin crunch cobbler recipe sooner rather than later.
With the holidays around the corner, this is a dish that stands out for its unique flavors and textures and would be perfect to bring to potluck parties.
Don't forget the whipped cream and vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!
