Why is a cobbler called a cobbler?

Ever wonder how a cobbler got it’s name? The name actually started back in 1859 and has been linked to having a number of meanings, one which is “wooden bowl”. While this isn’t a wooden bowl, it’s obviously something that you can eat out of a wooden bowl so there is that correlation!

What is the difference between a cobbler and a pie?

Basically, it comes down to the crust. A cobbler doesn’t really have a crust on the bottom at all and it has more of a dough crust on the top, too.

This pumpkin cobbler recipe is just in time for fall baking!

Ingredients

  • • ½ cup of butter (melted)
  • • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • • 4 teaspoon baking powder
  • • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • • 1 cup of half and half (may substitute milk)
  • • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • • 3 cups of pumpkin
  • • 1 cup of evaporated milk
  • • 2 large eggs
  • • 1⅛ cup of granulated sugar
  • • ⅔ cup of light brown sugar
  • • 1 tablespoon flour
  • • 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or ⅓ teaspoon each of ginger, cloves and nutmeg and ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon)
  • • 2 tablespoon butter (make certain it's cold and cut into small pieces)
  • • 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar

Topping

  • • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • • 3 tablespoons of half and half
  • • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • • ½ cup of marshmallow fluff
  • • 1 cup of pecan halves

Instructions

    Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.


    Once preheated, take the sugar, salt, flour, and baking powder and combine all the ingredients into a bowl. Then add in the vanilla and milk. Mix and set aside for later.

    Melt the butter and pour it into a 13X9" baking pan. Then take your mixture from earlier and pour that into the pan as well.

    Grab a different large bowl and mix the milk, eggs, pumpkin, brown sugar, 1 cup of sugar, flour, and spices. Pour that mixture over the top of the crust mixture that is already in the pan. Dot the 2 tablespoons of butter on the mixture and then sprinkle 4 tablespoons of sugar across. As it is baking, the crust will rise.

    To make the topping, mix the half and half, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla until smooth.

    Put the cobbler in the oven and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. The top should also be brown.

    Once done, remove from the oven and put on a wire rack to cool. Scoop out and add to dishes then drizzle the tops with the marshmallow topping. Sprinkle with pecan pieces if you want!
