How to Make Pecan Pie Cobbler

Ingredients:

2 rolled refrigerated pie crusts (2 come in a package)
2-1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted + 1 tablespoon
2-1/2 cups light corn syrup
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped pecans

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place one rolled pie crust in a 9×13 inch baking dish, pressing it into the corners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well blended.
Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Pour the pecan mixture over the pie crust in the baking dish.
Roll out the second pie crust and lay it over the top of the pecan mixture. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
