Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup sugar until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in 1/2 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Then add 1/2 cup melted butter and mix until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans evenly over the surface of the batter.
Make Brown Sugar Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup packed brown sugar with 1 1/2 cups hot water, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Carefully pour this mixture evenly over the batter and pecans in the baking dish without stirring or mixing it in.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For an extra special touch, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on the side.

Notes

Make sure not to stir the brown sugar and water mixture into the batter; it needs to sit on top to create the classic cobbler texture.
To check for doneness, look for a golden crust and bubbling along the edges.
You can toast the pecans beforehand for extra flavor, but it’s optional.
Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
