This pumpkin dessert truly has everything to love about fall. The cobbler has a cake like texture that is filled with pumpkin and warm spices and topped with pecans. As it bakes, the sugars and water cook down making a rich, silky caramel sauce on bottom.

Notes

If you prefer more hot caramel on the bottom, use 1 1/2 cup water instead of 1 cup.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. To reheat, add to the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed through. Or, place it back in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes until warm.
