How to Make Pecan Pie Cobbler Step by Step

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Stir in the milk and melted butter until smooth. Set aside.

Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and set, with a bubbling, gooey filling underneath.
