Warm, cozy, and unapologetically indulgent, this Cinnamon Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler is the dessert hug you didn’t know you needed. With its irresistibly gooey bottom and moist, spiced pumpkin cake top, this cobbler is like diving into the most comforting bite of autumn. The sweet pecans add a buttery crunch, while the cinnamon-sugar topping takes things to an entirely new level.

It’s one of those magical bakes where a luscious sauce forms beneath the cake as it cooks—no mixing, no stirring required.

What Kind of Pumpkin Should I Use?

You’ll want to use canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling). The puree offers a naturally sweet, earthy depth that pairs beautifully with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. It also gives the cake that tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture we love in cobblers.

Ingredients for the Cinnamon Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler

• Pumpkin Puree: The heart of the cobbler, adding moisture and a rich autumn flavor.
• All-Purpose Flour: Provides the structure for the soft, cake-like topping.
• Baking Powder: Gives the cobbler its lift and fluffiness.
• Brown Sugar: Enhances the warmth and adds a caramel note.
• Granulated Sugar: Balances out the deep flavors with a clean sweetness.
• Milk: Helps loosen the batter while keeping it creamy.
• Melted Butter: For richness and that golden edge.
• Vanilla Extract: A little goes a long way in enhancing all the other flavors.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice + Cinnamon: Adds that signature spice profile.
• Pecans: Adds texture and nutty contrast.
• Boiling Water: Poured on top to create that luscious self-saucing bottom.

How To Make the Cinnamon Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler

Step 1: Prep the Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

Add the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Pour and Spread

Spread the batter evenly into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish.

Step 4: Add the Topping

Sprinkle additional brown sugar and cinnamon over the batter. Then, evenly distribute chopped pecans across the top.

Step 5: The Magic Step

Slowly pour hot boiling water over the top—do NOT stir. This creates the gooey sauce underneath while it bakes.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is set and golden. The cobbler will be bubbling at the edges with a saucy bottom.
