Instructions

  • Place cubes of unsalted butter in your air fryer dish. Set the temperature to 350°F and let the butter melt completely; this forms the base of your cobbler. Remove from the air fryer.
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • In a big bowl, sieve the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes a smooth batter.
    1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅔ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Next, pour this batter evenly over the melted butter in the air fryer dish, being careful not to stir. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the batter, then evenly distribute the brown sugar over the pecans.
    2 ½ cups pecans, 1 ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • Carefully pour boiling water over the entire mixture. This should be done gently to ensure it covers the sugar without disturbing the layers underneath.
    1 ½ cups boiling water
  • Now, place the dish back in the air fryer and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This quick bake time makes it easy to enjoy your cobbler without a long wait.

Notes

  • Butter Handling: Opting for unsalted butter lets you control the overall saltiness of the dish, ensuring the sweet flavors shine through without being overpowered.
  • Uniform Pecans: Chopping your pecans uniformly means every bite is perfectly crunchy and nutty.
  • Water Distribution: When you pour the boiling water, do it slowly and methodically. This allows the water to evenly soak the brown sugar and pecans, creating a syrupy layer beneath the fluffy batter without disturbing the setup.
  • Batter Consistency: A thicker batter ensures it can support the weight of the pecans and sugar without sinking.
  • Watch the Time: Keep an eye on the baking time since every air fryer can heat a bit differently.
  • Serving Temperature: A warm cobbler is the epitome of comfort food. Serving it warm enhances the flavors and textures, making the pecans toastier and the sauce richer.
