This is a recipe for a Pumpkin Cobbler, a delectable dessert made with pumpkin puree and toasty spices. The recipe is broken down as follows:

Cobbler Ingredients: – 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour: This is the base dry ingredient for the cobbler batter.

• 2 tablespoons baking powder: This gives the cobbler a light texture and helps it rise.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt: Adds flavor to the cobbler.
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar: Makes the cobbler batter sweeter.
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon: Adds a toasty, aromatic flavor.
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg: Provides a toasty, somewhat sweet flavor.
• 1/2 teaspoon cloves: A spicy and aromatic taste enhancer.
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree: Adds pumpkin flavor and moisture to the cobbler.
• 1/4 cup milk: Adds moisture and aids in the binding of the materials.
• 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil: Gives the cobbler richness and wetness.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract: Improves the overall flavor of the cobbler.

Topping Ingredients: – 1/2 cup granulated sugar: Adds sweetness to the topping.

• 1/2 cup brown sugar: Gives the topping a rich, caramel-like flavor.
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans: Gives the topping a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor.
• 1 1/2 cups very hot water: When combined with the sugars, this will produce a syrup-like sauce.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium-sized mixing basin. Set aside the dry mixture.
3. In a small mixing dish, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter or vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry components until a thick batter forms.
5. Pour the batter into an 8-inch high-sided casserole dish.
6. For the topping, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans in a separate bowl. Evenly distribute this mixture over the batter in the casserole dish.
7. Without swirling, carefully pour the very hot water over the entire dish. As the cobbler bakes, the hot water will make a sauce.
8. Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet to collect any overflow during the baking process.
9. Bake the cobbler for approximately 40 minutes, or until the center is set. It’s best to keep an eye on it because baking times can vary.
10. Remove the cobbler from the oven and set aside for 5-10 minutes before serving.
11. For a delightful dessert, top the Pumpkin Cobbler with more nuts and vanilla ice cream.
