Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler Recipe

This fall pumpkin dessert is truly magical. It's much more than just a cobbler, with qualities of a crisp and lava cake all rolled into one. There's a decadent caramel sauce that forms on the bottom of the dish, thanks to a special technique that calls for adding hot water right before you place it in the oven. Made with pumpkin puree, cozy fall spices, and pecans, this cobbler is the perfect alternative to pie when you're looking for something different, but still special enough to serve on thanksgiving. Make sure to bake it right before it's dessert time because that beautiful caramel appears only when it's hot and fresh out of the oven. You can make the batter ahead of time and place it in the casserole dish. Finish it with the topping and the hot water right before you're ready to bake. You can also halve the recipe if you're having a smaller number of guests over, but we have a feeling everyone will be asking for seconds.
