Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Apple Filling:
– 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups peeled and diced apples
For the Pecan Topping:
– 1 cup chopped pecans
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
3. Incorporate the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract into the pumpkin mixture. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
4. Fold in the diced apples. Pour the pumpkin apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
5. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
6. Stir in the melted butter until the topping mixture becomes crumbly and cohesive.
7. Distribute the pecan topping evenly over the pumpkin apple filling in the baking dish.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes. The filling should set while the topping turns golden brown and crisp. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean with only a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool the cobbler for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
