Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 eggs, beaten a bit
- 1 box store pie crusts
- 1 cup pecans, chopped or whole
Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 1 cup sugar
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 spray cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously coat a 13×9-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Gently unroll the pie crust and carefully stretch it to cover the entire bottom of the pan, smoothing out any tears by pressing the dough back together.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and eggs until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Fold the pecans into the liquid mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Carefully pour approximately half of the pecan mixture into the prepared baking dish, creating an initial layer.
- Drape the second pie crust over the first layer, covering the entire surface of the initial pecan mixture.
- Slowly pour the remaining pecan mixture over the top crust, allowing it to seep and settle around the edges.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top turns a rich golden brown and the filling sets completely.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing to help the filling stabilize and make serving easier.
Notes
- Crust Flexibility: Use store-bought or homemade pie crust, ensuring it’s rolled thin and even for perfect texture and coverage.
- Pecan Placement: Toast pecans lightly before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide extra crunch in the cobbler.
- Temperature Control: Watch closely during baking to prevent burning, as ovens can vary in heat distribution and intensity.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent dessert experience that balances the pie’s richness.
