Simple Cobbler Adventure
- Bake Time
- Slide it in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes. After it’s done, give it a bit to cool before digging in.
- Stack Layers
- Spoon half your filling on the bottom crust, place the other pie crust over that, then pour on the rest of your filling.
- Get Mixing
- In a big bowl, whisk eggs, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and melted butter, then add all those pecans.
- Line The Pan
- Heat your oven at 350°F, get your 13x9 pan sprayed, roll a crust into the bottom, and patch any little holes.
Winning Tips And Tricks
Try dark corn syrup for bolder taste, or light if you like things milder—mix in brown sugar for extra depth. Changing up pecan sizes gives great crunch and bite. Out of crust? Leave the bottom off or put cake mix on top for a totally new texture.
Keeping It Fresh
Stash leftovers covered in the fridge for up to five days—they stay tasty. Want seconds? Give it a minute in the microwave or heat at 325°F in the oven. Got lots? Toss it in the freezer for a month, then let it sit in the fridge overnight to thaw.
Make It Yours
Put your own spin on it. Top with cake mix if you’re out of crust, or dot extra butter on before baking. If you just have one pie crust, only put it on top—still turns out delicious every time.
