Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter, melted

Topping:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
- 1/2 cup (110 grams) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined and free of lumps.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth, consistent batter forms without overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Create the topping by combining granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans in a separate bowl.
- Generously sprinkle the sugar-pecan mixture over the entire surface of the batter, covering it completely.
- Gently pour hot water over the entire dish, allowing it to settle without disturbing the layered ingredients.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and a set texture.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes to allow the layers to settle and cool slightly.
- Serve warm, garnishing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Swap pecans for other nuts like walnuts or almonds if you have allergies or prefer different flavors.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe completely gluten-free and suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Add a dash of extra pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for a more intense autumn flavor profile that enhances the warm, cozy feel of the dessert.
- When pouring hot water, pour slowly and gently to ensure even distribution without disturbing the batter layer, creating that signature cobbler texture with a perfect custard-like bottom.
