Pumpkin Cobbler is like the best of both worlds with a silky smooth pumpkin filling and crunchy spiced brown sugar nut topping! This recipe is so easy to make I might just forgo Pumpkin Pie this year at Thanksgiving and serve Pumpkin Cobbler instead.
Pumpkin Cobbler like all my other Cobbler Recipes is perfect for an easy dessert for the family or taking to your next potluck. We love it with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream but Sweetened Whipping Cream would be equally delicious.
Here's how I made the recipe:
Mix together:
- 15 ounces Pumpkin Puree
- 3 whole Eggs
- 2/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
Here's my recipe for Homemade Roasted Pumpkin Puree, incase you don't want to use canned.
Pour Pumpkin Mixture into an 8"x11" pan.
In a mixing bowl stir together:
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground Allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Mix in 1 whole Egg and 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract.
Mix using a fork until mixture becomes super crumbly, and egg is no longer visible.
Alternatively you can also add all ingredients to the mixer and mix until well combined.
Gently press crumb topping betweens fingers and cover top of Pumpkin Mixture.
Drizzle with 1/2 cup Melted Butter until evenly covered.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 50-55 minutes until top is golden brown and center is just slightly loose.
Allow to cool until warm or room temperature and serve with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or Sweetened Whipping Cream.
With Fall weather on the way Pumpkin Cobbler makes the season change way more tolerable! A delicious way to kick off fall!

We always did this with yellow cake mix (which I won't use any more) So I can not wait to try this! Pinning!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! I should probably wait for some occasion to make it but am seriously tempted to have it tonight.
ReplyDeleteI would pass up the pie for a piece of this streusel topped goodness!
ReplyDeleteMe TOO!
Deletei have such struggles with pie crust (shrinking! leakage! sticking!), so this sounds like the perfect way to get my pumpkin pie fix in (:
ReplyDeletePrepared this tonight for dessert while playing cards. Five stars from all who had some. I doubled the recipe and thought it would be too sweet, but it wasn't. If doubling the recipe next time, I will experiment with just 2/3 of a cup (1/3 cup doubled), as it was VERY buttery with 1 cup of melted butter.
ReplyDeleteIt’s 1/2 cup butter,melted :)
DeleteI cut the sugar back and it was still too sweet for me. Also, I ended up over-baking it (I baked for 10 min less but in a 9x13 because it's what I had). I might experiment with the recipe a bit, because I love that there's no yellow cake mix and whole milk instead of sweetened condensed.
ReplyDeleteReally delicious!!! I make it with gf flour and dairy free butter because of allergies and you can’t tell that I’ve made the substitution. It’s sooo good!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting me know! I always love hearing about substitutions and how it goes! I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteWhat size baking dish would be best to use if we don't have an 8x11? I have an 8x8, 9x13, and some in between. Also, how should I adjust the baking time?
ReplyDeleteA 9"x13" would be best, but your pumpkin layer will be a little thinner. I would start checking it at the 40 min. mark until the top is golden brown and center is just slightly loose when the pans moved. I hope that helps. Thanks, Serena
DeleteHow long will this dish last? Should it be kept in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteYes, keep it in the fridge and it should last 3-4 days like pumpkin pie. Thanks, Serena
