Ingredients
For the Pecan Pie Filling:

- 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
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
