Description

This Pumpkin Skillet Cobbler is a cozy, autumnal dessert featuring a rich, spiced pumpkin filling topped with a buttery cake-like crust. Baked in a skillet for a rustic presentation, it offers a gooey, brownie-like pumpkin base with a slightly crisp topping. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream and a sprinkle of chopped chocolate, it’s perfect for festive gatherings or a comforting treat on chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

To Serve

  • Vanilla or cinnamon ice cream
  • Chopped chocolate for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure you have a 10-inch oven-safe skillet ready to use for baking.
  2. Mix pumpkin filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is completely combined and smooth. Pour this pumpkin mixture evenly into the prepared skillet.
  3. Prepare the topping: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This homemade ‘cake mix’ topping forms the delicious crust of the cobbler. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the pumpkin filling in the skillet.
  4. Add melted butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the flour mixture topping. This helps create a slightly crunchy and golden crust as it bakes.
  5. Bake the cobbler: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. The topping should be golden and set when done, and the filling will have a gooey, brownie-like texture underneath.
  6. Cool before serving: Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool for at least 30 minutes. This resting time is essential for the cobbler to set properly and avoid a gooey, runny center.
  7. Serve and garnish: Serve warm, topped with your choice of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate and a dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for extra flavor and festive flair.

Notes

  • The texture of this cobbler is more like a pumpkin brownie or soft cake rather than a traditional fruit cobbler, with a semi-crunchy topping.
  • Using an oven-safe skillet is important to bake and serve the cobbler directly from it for rustic presentation.
  • Allowing the cobbler to cool for at least 30 minutes ensures it sets well and is easier to serve.
  • Feel free to substitute evaporated milk with regular milk for a lighter version, though richness may slightly vary.
  • Adding cinnamon ice cream instead of vanilla enhances the warm spice profile of the pumpkin dish.
