Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler takes pecan pie to a whole new level! Pecan Pie Cobbler has two crusts and is filled with custard and pecans.
After just one bite of Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler, you will be hooked! I was! Our annual family reunion got a whole lot better once I had a taste of this delicious cobbler. Cobblers have always been my favorite desserts and this pecan pie cobbler definitely makes the cut.
Reunion, Cousins and Pecan Pie Cobbler
Dixie is my cousin. We are the same age and grew up attending the same school, in the same grade, in a beautiful small town in Georgia. And we were always the best of friends.
Sadly, we usually only see each other once a year, in October, when we all converge on that small town and gather at my mom and dad’s rustic cabin for our annual family reunion. They live in town, but we have an annual reunion at the old home place.
We even get a little Friday night lights action by attending our high school football game! And I try my best not to miss that reunion weekend because I know it will be another year before we see each other again.
We always have mom’s famous fried chicken (The recipe link is at the bottom). Mom and dad cook the meats and some of the sides. Other relatives bring a dish or two.
My Aunt Jean (Dixie’s mom) is in charge of the desserts. And she makes the best Red Velvet Cake in the world!
And, of course, Dixie helps. She’s a great cook, too! Good cooks seem to run in my family and I feel blessed to carry on the traditions of my family.
Dessert Buffet Including Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler
Back to the dessert buffet – It’s always fabulous and laden with every dessert you could ever imagine! I’ve been tempted to just bypass the “real food” and head straight for that dessert table.
This past October, I tasted a dessert I had never had – Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler! I named it that because Dixie made it. And it was to die for. It was like a pecan pie on steroids! I mean, could pecan pie possibly taste any better? Why, yes it could!
Pecan Pie Cobbler
First of all, pecan pie cobbler is a big cobbler that feeds at least 12! Secondly, it has a bottom and top crust with pecan pie filling in between and more pecans on top.
Yes, there is more filling on top of the top crust! As you probably know, a traditional pecan pie has only a bottom crust. I have a love affair with the crust in this pecan pie cobbler.
Of course, I had to have the recipe. You can thank (or curse me) after you finish the last morsel. It’s that good!
The crust is tender and flaky and there is ooey-gooey pecan filled custard between both layers of crust. It’s like a taste of heaven on earth!
Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler is a big hit! It’s also a huge hit when I make this for my family. I have a large family and we never have any leftovers. That’s probably a good thing because this is a special occasion dessert. Shouldn’t every day be special? Wink!
How to Make Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler
While the oven is preheating to 425º F, lightly grease a 13″ x 9″ glass baking dish. Remove one of the pie crusts from the package and roll out to fit the baking dish. Trim the edges. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is well combined. Stir in chopped pecans.
Spoon half of the filling on top of the crust in the baking dish. Then remove the second crust from the package. Roll the crust to fit the baking dish. Place this crust on top of the filling in the 13×9 baking dish. Lightly spray the top crust with cooking spray.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until browned.
Remove From Oven and Add Remaining Pecan Filling
Reduce the oven temp. to 350ºF and carefully spoon remaining pecan filling over crust. Arrange pecan halves over the top and bake 30 minutes or until the center is set. Let cool for 15-20 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
The pecan cobbler will set more as it cools. However, because this recipe is a cobbler, it will not set up as firm as a traditional pecan pie.
Also, if you change or replace ingredients, it’s not the same recipe and will not turn out like the original recipe.
Can This Pecan Pie Cobbler Be Made In Advance?
I’ve been asked if this pecan pie cobbler can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. I always make mine the day of because we like to eat it warm. I don’t see why it can’t be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge overnight. I’ve never tried it. I would not make it ahead of time and freeze it.

Alli, your family reunion looks like it was so much fun and I’ve definitely got to grab this recipe – it looks absolutely delicious and I’m not surprised that there wasn’t any left! 🙂 When our family gets together, there are always a lot of Italian dishes. We have too many to pick a favorite! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Wednesday!
I always look forward to that family reunion and all the good food! I love Italian food, so I know your reunions are off the chain good!
This is so good. Amazing! I have never felt compelled to reply to anything before but this is a easy and great tasting receipe.
I can’t make the recipe print. It looks so delicious
I just checked it and it printed fine for me. Maybe check your printer to make sure it’s connecting.
This looks delicious! I want to make it for Thanksgiving. Will it keep well overnight? Should I keep it in the fridge?
I do keep it in the fridge if I make it the day before. Then I let it get to room temp before serving.
Yes, keep in the fridge.
I don’t even find the instructions!! I see the ingredients.
Please email them to me
The instructions are on the recipe card in the post, right under the ingredients.
Alli,I made pecan pralines before I realized I used all my pecans…I wonder if I could break the pralines some way to make this cobbler??
I don’t think pralines would work in this recipe. It would cause the cobbler to be really sweet and the consistency of the cobbler would be off.
I’m an architecture fanatic, so while that pecan cobbler looks so yummy, that cabin looks even more delicious lol!
oooo I usually on have pecan pie at Thanksgiving, but this looks absolutely amazing! Stumbling this! YUM!
Cute toes and I had to pin the pecan dish.. hoping mine looks as good as yours and tastes good.
Your cobbler looks amazing! It would be a nice change from peach or apple cobbler. Great idea!
I have got to make this. It looks amazing! Your reunion photos look like you had a great time. Love Dixie’s toes, too cute. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I actually have to go grocery shopping today so I can pick up ingredients.
Have a wonderful day,
Angel
Oh my goodness! What a fantastic recipe idea! Love your cousin pics – my cousins and I are great friends, as well!
How fun!! I love how your family gets together each year. I can’t wait to try the pecan pie cobbler. Pecan pie is my absolute favorite pie!! I don’t get it very often because there are only two of us in my family that like it. I can’t wait to try this!! Thanks for the recipe!!
This Carolina girl loves some pecan pie– so this is a MUST TRY –thanks
oh, and LOVE Dixie’s pedi (even though I’m a Carolina Gamecock fan!!)
Watching the video of the pecan cobbler , it looked like they poured all the mixture over the first crust do you mix another batch to go over second crust, or split the first
Half of the mixture is poured over the first crust, topped with the second crust and baked according to the above directions. Then the remaining filling is added on top of the second crust and topped with pecans before it goes back in the oven to finish cooking. Hope that helps clear it up for you.
I was wondering if it would be OK to substitute 2 oz. bourbon for 2 oz. of the vanilla. I always put bourbon in my pecan pies.
Sure! It should work fine.
Where are the measurements of the ingredients? Thank you
In the recipe card at the end of the post.
Could you add chocolate morsels to your filling?
I’ve never tried it but chocolate makes everything better!:) If you decide to add the chocolate morsels, please let me know how it turns out. Sounds delicious! The filling will be thicker with the addition of chocolate but it should work.
I love pecan pie & that looks delish! And with me being from Georgia, I just gotta say ~ Go Dawgs!!!!!
Potato salad is my favorite reunion (or picnic) food. 🙂
Pecans are my favorite.
This sounds so delicious! I must try it! Thank you!
I am now officially starving! I am a huge fan of pecan pie and always look forward to my mom’s at Thanksgiving. I’m going to give this a whirl at home. Looks so tasty!
This pecan pie cobbler looks incredible, can’t wait to try it.
I hear you on growing up in the same town (small town) with cousins. It was fun for me too. My kids are in a different country, so thy hardly know their cousins. This looks very yummy, heading over to see the recipe.
My Mom makes this sweet piece of Heaven nicknamed Coma Cake. It’s so rich and full of sugar that after you’ve ate far too much, you get so sleepy, hence the coma part! It’s far to unhealthy and we only have it once a year.
Oh what fun!! Sadly, I did not have cousins to grow up with and I’ve always craved those close family ties. That looks like a wonderful thing to look forward to, even if only once a year.
I have already Pinned that recipe, will definitely be making it. Dixie’s looks super yummy! I love to hear people say ‘the old home place’, it has a warm and fuzzy sound! My brothers and I grew up around some of our cousins. We raised our children very close to one another so they all have a very close bond. I had all the ‘children’ (they are grown, married and have their own children now) at my house for Easter this past Sunday. I so enjoy listening to them all talk as adults. Family ties area wonderful <3
This looks super amazing, and I just love the family story!
I totally need to try to make this!
My father loves Pecan Pie, so I think he would really love this dessert. It’s perfect for anyone who loves pecan pie.
This looks SO good. I never thought bout putting Pecans in peach cobbler. It looks SO good! This will become a christmas that for sure!
Your pecan creation looks delicious. It will make a great Thanksgiving treat.
oh my goodness I need to bookmark this for Thanksgiving! This pecan pie cobbler looks amazing.
Mmm….this recipe just looks amazing. I am typically not a fan of pecan pies, but I LOVE cobbler desserts. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yum, this would definitely make the family happy. I need to think about what desserts I want to make this Fall.
Yum! That looks so good. Pecan Pie is one of my absolute favorite desserts, so I will definitely be trying this!
I love pecan pie but I’ve never tried it as a cobbler. This recipe looks amazing and will be perfect for fall!!
Oecan oie is my favorite pie of all times! I love the Grandma polished toe nails!
This was not a good post to read on an empty stomach… this looks so good! I want to try it!
I love to have a slice of your pecan pie! Oh my. It is almost lunchtime and my tummy gave a big growl. That cozy cabin is something I would love to have in my lifetime. Always dreamed of a simple life.
This sounds (and looks) amazing! Perfect for fall. My husband would love this with a scoop of ice cream.
I love Pecan… perfect nut for fall recipes! Your recipe looks delicious! I want to try this weekend
Oh my, the pecan pie cobbler looks so good. I will save this recipe for later. You ladies looked like you had a wonderful time at the family reunion.
Pecan pie is one of my favorite, you had fun with it. I wanna grab it from my screen.
This looks like a good one that my family would love. This is a great time to fil my home with the scent!
Yum. I’ve never had a pecan cobbler like this before. This looks interesting. Very tasty too, I may have to give it a try. Love family recipes!
Family reunions are always so much fun. This looks like a delicious recipe. I will have to try it this weekend.
That sounds like such a wonderful family reunion. I love small towns! And the pecan cobbler looks wonderful. My Grandpa loved pecan pie. I will have to make this and think of him!
Pecan pie is hands down my favorite dessert. I have never tried a cobble. I think I just died and went to heaven.
Even though you guys only get together once a year, it sounds like you have the best tune when you do! The pie sounds divine too:-)
This looks delicious. I don’t even care for pecan pie.
This pecan pie cobbler looks absolutely amazing. I will definitely be trying this recipe soon!!
Oh wow! I have to make this! I love pecans and of all the recipes that I try I’ve never tried making this myself!
This looks like the perfect fall dessert! I LOVE pecans and cobbler so together this sounds perfect!
Oh my word!! Here is Louisiana Pecan pie is everything but we have it for everything too, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving… I am 100% sure that this will be in my kitchen this holiday season. Thank you for sharing!
I want to make this recipe, but don’t neeed such a large amount. Can it be halved?
Thanks!
I have a large family so I’ve never halved it, but it should work fine. Let me know how it goes. 🙂
I will!
If I make this ahead of time, should I warm it, or is room temperature OK?
Yes, room temp is fine!
Yep,gotta make this ,looks divine.Patricia
Loved this recipe cant wait to try baking this yummy
I knew I liked you when I saw your pecan cobbler recipe!! Can’t wait to try it!! But I knew I loved you when I saw your feet!!! Go Dawgs!!! From a dawg in Knoxville, TN
Go Dawgs! 🙂
I am making this for Thanks giving…….thanks for sharing…by the way your toes Ms Dixie were cute
This is delicious!
I just made this and mine didn’t firm up. So runny and way too sweet. I can’t imagine what went wrong.
I can’t imagine what went wrong! It always turns out firm and delicious for me. Did you bake the first part at 425º for 15-16 minutes? Then you add the rest of the ingredients and bake for 30 more minutes at 350º. My cousin, Dixie, gave me this recipe several years ago and it’s always perfect every time. So sorry it didn’t work for you.
Yes I followed the recipe exactly.. with the brown sugar did you pack it? I am thinking about putting it back in the oven when we get back home to see if it will firm up.
I would try putting it back in the oven to see if it will firm up. Again, I’m so sorry it didn’t work for you.
Doesn’t this recipe call for any flour to thicken it? Want to make it for Sunday so hope I hear back soon.
Nope – no flour needed!
This looks devine! But I have a question. I love pecan pie bars or pie minus the pecans since I do not like them (GASP NOW). What other nuts can I use? Or can I bake this without the nuts?
I’ve never made it without pecans, but I have heard of people using old fashioned oats instead of pecans in pecan pies because of nut allergies. I think it would be too runny if you didn’t use something like oats in place of the nuts. If you decide to use oats, let me know how it goes.
Yumm, I’ll try the oats. Thanks! I’ll keep you posted
Going to definitely make this. I was wondering if it would work too with making my own dough?
It should work fine – probably be even better with homemade dough. Yum!
I’m gonna make my own crust. On the second one you just want it on the top and not on the sides, right or wrong.
Thank You
Bear
Correct – just on the top.
Alli, This recipe looks absolutely awesome!!!! I want to know if it can be made in an aluminum pan for the holidays. I want to split the recipe and give it to friends. Also, if I make it on Sunday before Thanksgiving, will it be okay until Thanksgiving if kept in the fridge
I don’t see why it couldn’t be made in an aluminum pan. I don’t think I’d make it very far in advance because the crust will probably get soggy. Maybe the day before Thanksgiving would be fine. I always serve it fresh from the oven with a scoop of ice cream.
So I’m supposed to be working on a blog post, instead, I was scrolling Facebook, and the video started playing, HOLY YUUUUUUMMMM.
I am absolutely adding this to my Thanksgiving table this year.
I kinda want to get up, go to the store, and make it tonight.
Which would end up in me both not finishing the post I’m working on, but also probably eating the entire pan.
My family loves this cobbler and scrolling Facebook instead of working on a new blog post gets me every single time. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!!
Will this recipe work for high altitude? Or will it explode like my pecan pie?
I don’t know. I’m in South Carolina so I haven’t tried it in a high altitude. This does have more liquid than a regular pecan pie, so it might work. I’ve also heard to ditch the premade crust and make your own to try and avoid the explosion. I came across this article that might help: http://gazette.com/high-altitude-pecan-pie-puzzle-solved/article/14951
I need to ask my sister in Colorado to make it and let me know. 🙂
I don’t cook or bake very well or very often ha! But this recipe was so easy to follow and turned out delicious!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
This looks so good! I want to make it, but I’m a little confused. Do you bake the second layer before you add it to the dish? Thanks!
You add the first crust to the baking pan and top it with 1/2 of the pecan filling. Then add the second crust. Bake at 450º for 16 minutes or until browned. Remove from oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350º. Spoon the remaining pecan filling over the top. Arrange the pecans over the filling and bake for 30 minutes or until the center is set.
I hope this clears it up for you.
Does this freeze well? I want to make ahead as much as possible for christmas
I’ve never frozen it because I always make it the day I’m serving it. I do know that you can freeze a pecan pie so my guess would be that you could freeze this one as well.
I am testing this recipe out. It looks so good. I already messed up. I was confused with the direction so only cooked the first crust with half the topping for 15 minutes. Then I realized both should’ve been in. So I added the second and am cooking it another 15 minutes. Hope I didn’t ruin it.
Oh, I hope not! Yes, both crusts go in before the first cooking time so that the top crust will brown before the rest of the filling is added. Let me know how it turns out.
It was good! I’m making it again today for Thanksgiving.
Yay! I’m glad you liked it. I’m making it again for Thanksgiving.
This looks like a fabulous holiday dessert, but your instructions don’t mention placing the second crust on top of the filling-covered first layer. It made it a bit confusing.
I fixed it to make it easier to read. It did state “roll out the crust to fit the baking pan.” Hope this helps.
I’m dying to try this but am wondering if you can use a different pecan pie filling recipe (due to corn allergies)?
I’m sure you can use honey or maple syrup. Here is an excellent article on replacing corn syrup in recipes.https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/how-to-substitute-corn-syrup-article
I hope this helps!
Can you a Aluminum baking pan my boyfriend is taking it to work don’t want to send a glass dish with him
I don’t see why not! It should work fine.
The recipe says six eggs. The video says five. I’m making this right now. Hope I hear from you soon!
It’s six eggs.
My daughter loves Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie. Think it would be ok to throw some semi-sweet chocolate chips in?
Chocolate makes everything better. I say go for it. I may try it myself.
Thanks for the great recipe!!! 🙂
Ok is this 2 and 1/2 cups sugar or 2 separate half cups?
2 and 1/2 cups
This looks wayyyy toooo YUMMMMM!!! So, I’m going to have to make this for Christmas! With left hand & arm in a cast (bone surgery in hand), you don’t realize how much you Have to have it!!(even though I’m a righty! So, Thanksgiving is out…lol. The Only thing I’m changing…using 2-3 Tbsp. of “Jack” instead of Vanila. The flavor is Awesome !!! I got that tip years ago…tried it…&…its history! The family, as well as me…love it !!!
I love the look of it with the pecan halves on top…very pretty!
Well I make Bread Pudding with Wild Turkey 101 Proof – I think I will try this with the Pecan Cobbler.
Hi! Just made this and it turned out great.
Just a tip. If you cook the corn syrup and brown sugar in a heavy pot at a boil for 3-4 minutes and then add the stick of butter in while still hot. Then temper the eggs with the hot mixture prior to combining the filling ingredients, it mitigates any issues with the cobbler setting up.
Thanks for the great recipe. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Thanks so much for the tip! I’ve never had a problem with the pecan pie cobbler setting up. I made it yesterday and it turned out perfectly, as usual.
Going to try this today…can i use a regular pan instead of glass?
Sorry not much of a baker:(
Yes, you can! Sorry I didn’t see this yesterday! I was at the hospital welcoming my new grandson. He wasn’t due until December 10 but decided to make a grand entrance on Thanksgiving Day. 🙂
I fixed Pecan Cobbler – we loved it – have a few questions
1. What would you think of using 2 layers of the crust in both places – cooking bottom just like 2nd in oven until light tan, having a cool set time; add filling and add 2 more crusts and follow your recipe.
Had a guest say you can’t taste or tell their is any crusts?
2. Followed to letter it set out over an hour after cooked – still very runny – is that how it is suppose to be?
I am in love with it, but want your feed back.
Thanks, Judie
I’ve made this cobbler many times and it has never been runny at all. When I make it, you can always taste the pie crusts. I have no idea if changing the recipe up will work or not. If you try it, let me know how it goes. Did you spoon half the pecan filling over the bottom crust and top with the top crust before baking the first time? Just wondering. Thanks for your comment!
I have made this several times and I have to say, it is pretty darn good. Out of all the things I have made for my boyfriend’s family get togethers, it is the most requested. And there is never a single bit of leftovers. I say that is a win!
I’m so glad you and your boyfriend’s family love the cobbler!
Can this be frozen after it is baked ?
I’ve never frozen it before, but I don’t see why not. Wrap well in foil before freezing.
I love the way you make it look easy
It says to spoon half of filling I to crust. What do you do with other half?
Hi! Do you use light or dark brown sugar?
I use light brown in this recipe.
Alli &Judy…..try adding a couple tablespoobs of bourbon too!!
Love this recipe! But one thing I want to change, and wonder what you use. I don’t like the taste of the pie crust I used. What brand of pie crust do you use?
I always use the Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts.
I just saw this recipe and will give it a try. If I may make a suggestion….I would toast the chopped pecans as it brings out the flavor and adds so much dimension.
I do chop them myself. I use my food processor to give them a rough chop. The measurement is after they are chopped.
Thank You for the recipe however I was not expecting the book it printed,
Thanks for stopping by. When you click print on the recipe portion, it only prints the recipe, which is one page. I just tested it to make sure it was working properly and it is.
I would like to make huge pans of the cobbler do I triple the recipe
Wondering if you store this at room temp or in the fridge.
I always store leftovers in the fridge (if there are any leftovers). I always make it right before I’m serving it because I like to serve it warm with vanilla ice cream.
I just came upon your Wonderful Pecan Cobbler. Oh my goodness. I have got to make this for My Family Next Week. We All Get Together for Dinner One Night A Week. This Story Really Took Me Back to My Family From Illinois Always went to Boulder Junction, Wisconsin Every Year Going Up for 2-3 Weeks During the Summer. My Moms Parents Took Care Of A Lodge and 15 Cabins for the Summer. While the Owners Went out of the Country to Visit There Family’s.We Had So Much Fun Back Then As Well. I Sure Miss My Mom and Grandpa and Grandma. I Have Lots of Lovely Memories to Keep Near to my Heart. Thank You For Making It Come Alive Again. And THank You For Your Story and Recipe. Love Susie
Hello! I love southern food, my dads from Kentucky (: anyways, a few years ago, I tried to make a pecan pie..I followed the directions but when I took it out, it was runny in the middle so I cooked it longer and it ended up ROCK HARD, I reallllyyyy want to try this! Is there ANYTHING I can do to make sure it turns out? Lol, i hate wasting food. Thank you!
This one always turns out perfectly for me. It won’t be as hard as a pecan pie because it’s more like a cobbler, so it won’t be as firm as a pecan pie. Just follow the directions and it should turn out just fine.

So sorry for the inconvenience.
Can I use a aluminum pan?
Sure! I don’t see why not. I just always use glass because that’s what I have.
Would this keep if made two days in advance if kept in the refrigerator?
It will keep in the fridge. I think it tastes best when you make it the day you’re going to serve it and my husband likes it best the day after. 🙂
[…] Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler […]
I tried it today but the middle was so runny. The top layer was great and I couldn’t cook it any longer for fear the top would burn. Go any ideas? Maybe cook longer than 14-15 mins?
The middle is never runny when I make this. The first bake time is 14-16 minutes at 425ºF. When you add the remaining filling and reduce the oven to 350ºF, you bake for 30 additional minutes. If it’s still runny in the middle, I’d cover the cobbler loosely with foil and bake a few minutes longer. Also, this cobbler needs to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Why does the picture show whole peacans, but the instructions say chopped peacans and also say peacan halves?
The recipe is correct. The picture shows the pecan halves that go on top. The recipe calls for chopped pecans and pecan halves. The chopped pecans go in the filling part. The pecan halves are arranged on top (step 6 of recipe instructions). There are no whole pecans in this recipe or in the photo. Thanks for asking. Hope this helps!
Can this be made in an aluminum pan?
I always use glass because that’s what I have but I don’t see why it couldn’t be made in an aluminum pan. It should work fine.
