Tips and Recommendations
- I use whole milk.
- I cannot stress enough the importance of using real
butter . Do not use margarine. - As well, I do not recommend reducing either the brown sugar or the hot water in this recipe.
- Additionally, I don’t recommend reducing the amount of
butter . These three components are what make the sauce and it’s detrimental this ingredients as well as the amounts are correct.
Three days in the fridge. Store your cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.
To reheat, you can reheat it either in the oven or the microwave. To reheat it in the oven, turn your oven to 350 degrees F and heat until the cobbler is heated through. Furthermore, for the microwave, cover it with a damp paper towel and reheat it in 30-second increments until heated through.

Nutrition
Nutritional information given is an automatic calculation and can vary based on the exact products you use and changes you make to the recipe. If these numbers are important to you, I recommend calculating them yourself.
If I want to cut this in half for less people would you think an 8×8 pan?
Yes.
Yummy dessert. Very rich and sweet. I reduced brown Sugar to 1c and next time will also reduce white sugar to 1c. Other than that follow instructions. Don’t overthink it. Use very hot near boiling water.
Is it supposed to be rubbery?
Not at all.
If you over mix the batter you will develope gluten, which makes good bread but rubbery cakes. Maybe you overmixed or waited too long to add the water and bake because allowing wet flour to sit will also developed gluten and make tough cakes.
This recipe is a hit with everyone I make it for. I made this for my niece and her now husband once and they loved it so much they had me make two for their wedding (neither are big fans of cake). The caterer asked for the recipe so I gave them the link to your post 😊
Thank you!
Wondering if you made it in glass dish or metal 9X13?
I’ve made it in both so either will work.
This was a huge hit at my house! Definitely a keeper and I’m already looking forward to making it again!
Hey! This looks delicious! I was wondering if a plant based butter would work? I have never used them but my daughter is diary free, and gluten free. So would GF flour work?
Thanks so much!
I haven’t used either of those substitutions. I think they would work, but just haven’t tested them.
My husband has celiac and cannot eat wheat. I made this for the first te yesterday. I used Pillsbury one for one gluten free flour using all the same measurements except for the milk added additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time (8 total). It was still a bit thick to pour so I spooned the batter to make suresll pecans were covered. I baked it at 350 for 35 minutes. It was beautiful and oh so good. Very rich. A bite or two at a time was about all we could handle. I thought I could never get anything too sweet for my husband but as someone else suggested I think next time I will try with a little less sugar.
I forgot to say that I added the baking powder and salt to the gluten free flour. Hard to find self rising gluten free unless you plan far enough ahead to order online. Please excuse all the typeos i
n my original post.
Can i use regular flour?
Baked this tonight and absolutely delicious. I would love to have about double the gooey sauce. Could I do this by simply doubling the butter and brown sugar.
I haven’t tested to see if that will work. I don’t know if the crust would cook correctly with that ratio.
My Mom and my sister have made this and I love it! Trying to make it myself tonight. Wish me luck!
Yay! Good luck, it’ll turn out great!
I made this recipe and love it! Could more pecans be added to the one cup?
Yes you can add another cup
