Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. You will lower it to 350 degrees after baking the first layer.
Grease the Dish
Grease the bottom of your dish with non-stick spray. A 9″ x 13″ casserole dish works well for this recipe.
First Pie Crust
Roll out one of the pie crusts into a rectangular shape. It doesn’t have to be perfect and doesn’t need to go all the way up the sides of the casserole dish.
Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, add the brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add Chopped Pecans
Add the 2 cups of chopped pecans to the mixture and mix well.
First Layer
Pour half of the pecan pie mixture over the first pie crust.
Second Pie Crust
Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the mixture. Again, it doesn’t need to be perfectly rolled out.
Bake the First Layer
Brush or spoon the tablespoon of melted butter over the top crust and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Lower the Oven Temperature
Remove the cobbler from the oven and turn the temperature down to 350 degrees.
Second Layer
Stir the remainder of the pecan pie mixture and pour it over the cooked crust.
Top with Pecan Halves
Add the 1-1/2 cups of pecan halves to the top of the cobbler. You can either sprinkle the pecans randomly or place them in an orderly fashion.
Final Bake
Bake the cobbler again for 30 minutes.
Allow to Cool
Allow the Pecan Pie Cobbler to cool for at least one hour before serving.
