You will love this dish for several
reasons, the first being that you likely have everything you need to
prepare it already sitting on your pantry shelves. NO extra trip out to
the store means you can think it and bake it within an hour’s time! The
results are huge, so do get started soon.
The spices in the cobbler whisper
October’s name: cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. You know how good
this will be just thinking about that combo, right? Finding yourself
smack in the middle of Fall usually means one thing in the kitchen, and
that is pumpkin! There’s enough pumpkin purée in the dish to provide
that special autumnal flavor and the spices are a nod themselves to our
cooler temperatures.
I was a little leery of the recipe’s
instructions for pouring hot water over the topping before baking but
was totally delighted with the results. As the water incorporates into
the batter while baking, a rich creamy caramel sauce results, perfect
for spooning over each serving. That saucy caramel is one of the best
things about the dish.
The second reason I love this recipe
(and many thanks to friend Micki Welsh for finding it and knowing that I
would enjoy it!) is that it is a snap to make. You will need
three bowls for the dry, wet, and topping ingredients but there is no
need even for your hand mixer. Simply combine wet with dry ingredients
then sprinkle over the topping; add the hot water, and into the oven it
goes.
Do try this one when cooler weather
rolls around. If you are a pumpkin person (and I know many), you will be
delighted by this cobbler. You will also find that a scoop of rich
country-style vanilla ice cream is the only accompaniment you’ll want.
Add friends and family and it’s Pumpkin Heaven, y’all!
