1️⃣ Mix the pumpkin puree with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla, and sugar to create a smooth, spiced base. Spread this evenly in a baking dish.
2️⃣ In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and sugar. Add melted butter and milk, stirring until smooth. Pour this batter over the pumpkin layer.
3️⃣ Sprinkle the top with brown sugar and chopped pecans for a caramelized, nutty topping.
4️⃣ Gently pour boiling water over the entire dish without stirring. This step creates the cobbler’s signature caramel sauce as it bakes.
5️⃣ Bake in a preheated oven until the top is golden and firm. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
6️⃣ Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect fall dessert.
