Texas Gooey Pecan Cobbler

Preparation Time: 10 min 

 

Cooking Time: 1 hr

 

Baking Dish  Size: 9 x 13 inch baking dish

 

 

For the cobbler:

3 cups pecan halves, toasted

4 eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup light brown sugar

1 (16-ounce) bottle light corn syrup

1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

For the biscuit topping:

2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 tablespoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup cold buttermilk

1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

turbinado sugar, optional

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

To make the filling, whisk together the eggs, both sugars, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Gently fold in the toasted pecans.Pour the filling into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray.

 

Bake the filling for 25 minutes.

 

While the filling bakes, prepare the biscuit topping. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Combine the cold buttermilk with the melted butter in a small bowl so that butter hardens and forms small clumps.

 

Slowly add the milk and butter mixture to the flour mixture. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.

 

Remove the cobbler from the oven and dollop with the biscuit topping. Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with turbinado sugar, if using.

 

Return the cobbler to the oven and bake it for an additional 25 to 35 minutes, until the biscuit topping is golden brown.

 

Allow the cobbler to cool for 30 to 45 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream.

BAKED APPLE PIE ROLL-UPS !

...

10 slices white bread
1 can apple pie filling
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the crusts off your bread and roll each slice flat with a rolling pin. Combine cinnamon and sugar on a small plate.
Pour the apple pie filling onto a plate and chop it so the pieces are smaller. Put about 2 tablespoons apple pie filling on each slice of bread and roll up.
Dip each piece into melted butter (I poured a tiny bit of butter into a "butter dish" and just rolled in there) and then roll in the cinnamon sugar.
Place seam side down on a parchment lined pan and bake 15 minutes or until browned and crispy. Serve warm.
