How to make Pecan Cobbler:
Make Batter: Slice butter into pieces and place in a 9×13 inch baking dish in the oven while it preheats to 350°F. Remove from oven when butter is melted.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir in milk and vanilla just until combined. Pour over the melted butter in the baking dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top, then brown sugar evenly over everything. Slowly drizzle boiling water on top but don’t stir. Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top.
Bake: Carefully place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until batter is nearly set in the middle. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve immediately, while it’s warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
Make Ahead and Reheating Instructions:
To Make Ahead: This pecan cobbler is best served immediately, but it can be kept covered in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
To Reheat: The microwave is the easiest and quickest way to heat a serving, but you can also use the oven. Take the cobbler out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Bake at 350°F until heated through. Place a sheet of tinfoil over the cobbler if it starts getting too brown.

I made this for a dry-run for Thanksgiving and it was gone within a few hours. I’ve already had several requests to make at least two for Thanksgiving this week. Delicious!
how does it do in camp oven?
This looks delicious! Reading the recipe-4 teaspoons of baking powder, I don’t think I’ve ever used that much in a recipe before! Looks like it would be a great dessert for Thanksgiving.
