Amazing Pecan Cobbler

Pecan pie has nothing on this Amazing Pecan Cobbler!

I have never really liked pecan pie. I think it's way too much sugar and that's coming from someone who loves sweets. However, it's my husband's favorite pie and that means every once in a while I will make him one because I love him. Sometimes he'll make a compromise and we pick out a dessert that is similar to what he wants but something I will eat. Because he definitely won't eat a dessert all by himself! Our compromise last year for the holidays was this pecan cobbler. It has the flavors of pecan pie but without being so overly sugary. I personally love cobbler and it's one of my favorite types of dessert, so I knew I would love this recipe. We ended up loving it so much that I made it for Thanksgiving AND Christmas.

Recipe from The Recipe Critic

I love when desserts are turned into bars too, so these Better Than Your Mama's Pecan Pie Bars from Your Cup of Cake are high on my to-make list. The last pecan pie recipe I posted was a recipe for Butterscotch Pecan Pie that I, not surprisingly, didn't enjoy but my husband LOVED.
