An Ode to Autumn’s Heritage:
Pumpkin, a revered autumnal ingredient, has graced tables for generations. From hearty stews to decadent pies, it’s a symbol of the season’s bounty. Our Pumpkin Spice Cobbler celebrates this heritage while adding a modern twist with the warmth of brown sugar.
Ingredients:
For the Cobbler Batter:
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Pumpkin Filling:
- ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
For the Topping:
- ½ cup chopped pecans, toasted
Instructions:
1. Preparing the Pumpkin Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Set aside.
2. Making the Cobbler Batter:
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, sugar, and brown sugar.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
3. Assembling the Cobbler:
- Grease a 9-inch cake pan and spread the pumpkin filling evenly on the bottom.
- Carefully spoon dollops of the cobbler batter over the pumpkin filling. The batter may not cover the entire surface, and that’s okay; it will spread as it bakes.
4. Baking and Serving:
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted chopped pecans over the top for a delightful crunch.
5. Savoring the Season:
- Serve warm, allowing the aromas of pumpkin spice and toasted pecans to envelop you.
- Optionally, accompany each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, enhancing the flavors of fall with a touch of sweetness.
The Pumpkin Spice Cobbler with a touch of brown sugar and pecans is the embodiment of fall’s enchantment. With each bite, you’ll discover the harmonious blend of pumpkin, spices, and a comforting brown sugar twist.
It’s a dessert that honors tradition while embracing the evolving tastes of the season. As you enjoy this masterpiece, take a moment to reflect on the beauty of autumn and the joy of sharing wonderful moments with loved ones.
