This unique and delicious pumpkin cobbler is just what it seems – a creamy, rich, sweet layer of spiced pumpkin topped with a cakey spread.

A final last treat to tempt your Thanksgiving table, this unique and delicious pumpkin cobbler is just what it seems to be – a creamy, rich and sweet layer of spiced pumpkin topped with a buttery, cakey spread, dotted with pecans and baked to golden perfection.

White plate with pumpkin cobbler.

Served with a scoop of dreamy vanilla ice cream that manages to melt into every crack and sweet crevice of the cobbler, this dessert was heavenly.

I’ve had it bookmarked since last year after my sister-in-law, Cass, sent it to me and I’m so glad I finally tried it!

A simple recipe to boot, I used my favorite homemade yellow cake mix in place of the boxed mix, and this classically fall concoction was all things a Thanksgiving dessert should be.

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
