- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for serving)
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Preparation Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prepare for your easy pumpkin cobbler.
- Mix the Pumpkin Base: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger for that warm, spiced flavor perfect for a fall dessert recipe.
- Prepare the Topping: In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and chopped pecans. Spread this dry mixture evenly over the pumpkin base in the baking dish.
- Add the Magic Touch: Pour boiling water gently over the entire mixture without stirring. This creates the gooey, cobbler-like texture for your pecan cobbler dessert.
- Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The pumpkin pie cobbler will have a crispy top and soft, spiced interior.
- Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes, then scoop into bowls. Serve warm with a drizzle of heavy cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream (if using) for extra indulgence.
