Ingredients

• 1 box refrigerated pie crust, softened to room temperature
• 2 1/2 cups light corn syrup
• 2 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 4 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 6 eggs, slightly beaten
• 2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
• Butter-flavor cooking spray
• 2 cups pecan halves
• Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (F).
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 13×9 inch glass baking dish with shortening or cooking spray.
3. Prepare Pie Crust: Take one pie crust from the box and unroll it on a work surface. Roll it out into a 13×9 inch rectangle and then place it in the prepared dish, trimming any excess edges.
4. Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine the light corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and slightly beaten eggs using a wire whisk. Once these ingredients are well mixed, stir in the chopped pecans. Pour half of this filling into the crust-lined baking dish.
5. Add Second Crust: Remove the second pie crust from its pouch, unroll it, and roll out to a 13×9 inch rectangle. Place this crust over the filling in the dish, trimming the edges as needed. Spray the crust lightly with the butter-flavor cooking spray.
6. First Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the crust turns brown. After this, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
7. Add Remaining Filling: Carefully spoon the remaining filling over the baked pastry. Decoratively arrange the pecan halves on top of the filling.
8. Second Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
9. Cool: After baking, let the cobbler cool for 20 minutes on a cooling rack.
10. Serve: The pecan pie cobbler can be served warm. If desired, accompany each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
