Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy pecan pie cobbler—simple ingredients that come together for one unforgettable dessert. 

Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts: They’re so easy to work with and bake up so flaky and delicious! Plus, they’re the perfect size to cover the whole cobbler and add structure to this dessert. 

Corn Syrup: This classic pecan pie ingredient is essential for the filling! It firms up when baked and helps hold everything together. 

Other Ingredients: Brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs are all important parts to add richness, flavor, and structure to the filling. And don’t forget the pecans! They’re a must-have for that classic pecan pie look and taste. 

How to Make Pecan Pie Cobbler

Making this pecan pie cobbler is a breeze! Here’s a quick preview—then check out the full recipe instructions below. 

1. Prep the Crust 

Roll out one pie crust and press it into a greased 13x9-inch pan. The pie crust will be pretty thin, so we recommend rolling it up on your rolling pin to easily transfer it to the dish. 

2. Make the Filling 

Combine corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, eggs, and chopped pecans to create a sweet, sticky filling. Pour half the filling over the crust in the dish, then top with a second pie crust. 

3. Bake the Cobbler 

We heard from some of you in the recipe comments that this cobbler was coming out underbaked and liquidy in the middle, so we upped the bake time range here to make sure the cobbler bakes perfectly all the way through.  

Start with a high oven temp so the crust becomes golden and crisp, then reduce the oven temp. Pour the other half of the filling over the top of the crust, arrange pecan halves on top for that classic pie look, then bake again until the dessert is set and bubbling.  

4. Serve and Enjoy! 

Let the cobbler cool slightly. It will still be pretty soft, so we recommend using a large serving spoon to scoop it into bowls. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Trust us—it’s a crowd favorite! 

Storing and Reheating

Got leftovers? This pecan pie cobbler stores well and reheats beautifully—just warm it up and enjoy that sweet, gooey goodness all over again. 

Refrigerator 

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or transfer leftovers to an airtight container, then store in the fridge for up to 3 days. We wouldn’t recommend freezing leftover pecan pie cobbler—it won’t hold together when you thaw it. 

Reheating 

We found that pecan pie cobbler gets really firm in the fridge, so reheating leftovers is important! The easiest way is to reheat individual servings in the microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
