Ingredients

For the Pecan Pie Filling:

  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups chopped pecans

For the Cake Mix Cobbler Topping:

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 12 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Start with the pecan pie filling:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Sprinkle the chopped pecans in the bottom of your prepared pan.
    • Pour the filling mixture over the pecans.
  3. Prepare the cobbler topping:
    • In a medium bowl, mix the dry cake mix with cold butter pieces using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Add boiling water and stir until just combined.
    • Drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the pecan filling. Don't worry about covering it completely.
    • If desired, sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top.
  4. Bake the cobbler:
    • Place the pan on a cookie sheet (in case of overflow) and bake for 10 minutes.
    • Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue baking for another 25-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  5. Let it cool on a wire rack, or serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for Success

  • Use real butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your water is boiling when you add it to the cake mix.
  • This cobbler is best served warm, so reheat leftovers in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
