How to Make Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Prepare the Batter: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a smaller bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter or vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
5. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter into a small 8-inch casserole dish with high sides.
6. Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the casserole dish.
7. Add Hot Water: Carefully pour the very hot water over the entire cobbler, without stirring.
8. Bake: Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet (in case of any bubbling over) and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the middle is set.
