- Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish or a similar-sized pan. - Prepare the filling:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and water.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugars dissolve.
- Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and set aside.
- Toast the pecans (optional):
- For enhanced flavor, spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- Make the cobbler batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the melted butter and milk until a smooth batter forms.
- Assemble the cobbler:
- Pour the prepared sugar syrup into the greased baking dish.
- Evenly sprinkle the pecans over the syrup.
- Spoon the cobbler batter on top in dollops, spreading lightly with a spatula (it’s okay if some syrup peeks through).
- Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top for a caramelized crust.
- Bake the cobbler:
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and serve:
- Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
