Ingredients
refrigerated pie crusts
2 (softened as directed on box)
light corn syrup
2 1/2 cups
packed brown sugar
2 1/2 cups
butter
1/2 cup (melted)
vanilla extract

eggs
6 (slightly beaten)
coarsely chopped pecans
2 cups

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish using shortening or butter-flavored cooking spray.
2
Take one refrigerated pie crust from its packaging and unroll it onto a clean surface. Roll it out into a 13x9-inch rectangle to fit the baking dish. Place the crust in the greased dish and trim any excess edges to ensure a perfect fit.
3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, packed brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and slightly beaten eggs until well combined and smooth. Stir in the coarsely chopped pecans, allowing the mixture to marry its flavors.
4
Carefully pour half of the pecan filling into the crust-lined baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
5
Unroll the second pie crust onto a clean surface and roll it into a matching 13x9-inch rectangle. Lay this crust over the filling and trim the edges to fit. Lightly spray the top crust with butter-flavored cooking spray for a crispy, golden finish.
6
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.
7
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Carefully spoon the remaining pecan filling over the baked top crust, taking care not to disturb the pie crust. Arrange the pecan halves on top in a decorative pattern, pressing them gently into the filling.
8
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are bubbling.
9
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat!
