For the pecan filling
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar packed
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 large eggs beaten and room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
For the crust
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed but kept cold in refrigerator until ready for use (9x9 inches)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- Sparkling sugar for garnish
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place racks in top third and bottom third position. Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by spraying the sides and bottom with nonstick baking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together both sugars until combined.
Next, whisk in corn syrup, melted butter, beaten eggs, and vanilla until mixture is smooth.
Quickly whisk in flour and salt until mixture is smooth but somewhat thickened.
Add pecans and use a spatula to combine.
Remove one sheet of puff pastry from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry to 9x12 inches. Using a pizza or pastry cutter, cut pastry into thirds. Keep two strips whole and cut the third strip into smaller ¼-inch wide strips.
Place the first whole strip at the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Pour in half of the pecan filling.
Place the second whole strip over the pecan filling and top with the remaining filling.
Place the ¼-inch strips at a diagonal to create a lattice top. Trim the strips where necessary. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle sparkling sugar on top.
Place the cobbler on the bottom third rack and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven to 350°F degrees and continue baking until the center is set but just slightly jiggly, another 12-15 minutes. Move to the top third rack and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until the puff pastry is light golden brown.
Remove cobbler from the oven and let sit for 30 minutes to allow filling to finish setting. Scoop out into bowls and serve warm.
How to store & reheat pecan cobbler
Make sure your cobbler is cooled down completely, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil or move to an airtight container. You can then pop it in the fridge.
To reheat, warm leftovers in a preheated 350˚F oven for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. You can also zap in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds. Easy y'all!
How long will pecan cobbler last in the fridge?
It should last for 3-4 days refrigerated.
Can I freeze pecan pie cobbler?
Yep for sure! It's best to wrap portions individually in plastic wrap then in foil. Add the date then freeze for up to 2 months. Make sure you thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
