This week is #PumpkinWeek !  I’ve been looking forward to this week for months and I have 3 delicious pumpkin recipes to share with you.  In fact, I made all three of them one weekend because I just couldn’t wait to start baking with pumpkin.   I’ve got two dessert recipes and one beverage.   Today I’m sharing Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler.

Looking for a great fall dessert? You can't beat this warm Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler topped with whipped cream!

Now this is an interesting recipe.   When I was making it I kept thinking that there was no way it was going to work.   It just looked bad before it went into the oven.   It basically starts with a cake like layer in a pan.  Then it’s topped with pecans.   It looks great until you pour on the topping.  The topping is basically water mixed with sugar and pecans.

Everything you need to make a Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler!

I was really concerned with the dish. It looked like way too liquid to put into a cake and I didn’t like that it was just laying on top of the other ingredients without being mixed.   I shouldn’t have worried though because when it came out of the oven it was amazing.

Just a few easy steps make this delicious Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler!

It appeared as though the bottom cake layer had floated to the top and made a tasty pumpkin cake.   Once I scooped into the dish I noticed that there was a sweet and spiced sauce at the bottom of the pan.  Apparently the liquid sinks to the bottom and makes a sweet sauce that goes awesome with the pumpkin cake!  It’s really neat to see how it works and the cobbler is absolutely delicious.

I scooped out a big serving and put it in the dish.  The cake is light and tastes of pumpkin and spices.   The pecans are throughout both the cake and the sauce.   Then the sauce on the bottom resembles a caramel of sorts studded with more pecans.   It’s so good when it’s served hot.

I enjoyed my cobbler with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.   This would also be yummy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.   Any way you serve it, make sure it’s served warm so that sauce is liquid and runs over top of the cake.  You’ll be glad you did!
