Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Filling:

1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup heavy cream

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Pecan Topping:

1 cup pecans, chopped

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Caramel Sauce:

1 cup granulated sugar

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth and well combined. Pour this mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

      Make Pecan Topping: In another bowl, combine the chopped pecans, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; don’t over-mix.

        Layer the Topping: Drop spoonfuls of the pecan topping mixture over the pumpkin filling. Don’t worry about it being perfectly even—it will spread as it bakes.

          Bake: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.

            Prepare Caramel Sauce: While the cobbler is baking, prepare the caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and butter over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is melted and the mixture is bubbly. Carefully add the heavy cream and continue to stir until smooth. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let it cool slightly.

              Final Touches: Once the cobbler is finished baking, remove it from the oven. Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the top and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

                Serve: Scoop warm portions of the cobbler into bowls, adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired, and drizzle with extra caramel sauce before enjoying!
