Pecan Pie Cobbler
Pecan Pie Cobbler combines traditional pecan pie filling with a light, fluffy biscuit topping! A much easier alternative to pecan pie, and a great dessert for Thanksgiving.
I made this Pecan Pie Cobbler when I realized that I started making a pecan pie, and realized I didn’t have any frozen pie crusts in the freezer. Whoops. Lucky for me, this cobbler turned out WONDERFUL!
You’ve got to love a happy accident!
If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I’m a bit of a lazy baker! You will probably never see me rolling out fondant or a pie crust from scratch.
Now, I don’t mind baking, but I prefer recipes that are a little bit freeform, like dump cakes. And, desserts that require little to no measuring!
I brought this cobbler to Friendsgiving last weekend, and it was gobbled up! Most people had never tried, or even thought about converting Pecan Pie into cobbler, but they all loved it!
One of my favorite parts of this cobbler is the biscuit topping, which surprised me. I didn’t think it could get much better pie crust. But, this biscuit topping is just perfect. It’s light, fluffy and just a bit sweet. The perfect balance to the sticky, sweet pecan filling!
In fact, the biscuit topping is so good, I’m thinking of ways to re-use it! I think it’d be a great base for garlic cheddar biscuits or pimento biscuits, so you’ll probably be seeing those recipes soon!
I can’t wait to bring this cobbler to more events this fall, and watch people gobble it up!
