Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler takes pecan pie to a whole new level! Pecan Pie Cobbler has two crusts and is filled with custard and pecans.
After just one bite of Dixie’s Pecan Pie Cobbler, you will be hooked! I was! Our annual family reunion got a whole lot better once I had a taste of this delicious cobbler. Cobblers have always been my favorite desserts and this pecan pie cobbler definitely makes the cut. Dixie is my cousin. We are the same age and grew up attending the same school, in the same grade, in a beautiful small town in Georgia. And we were always the best of friends.
We always have mom’s famous fried chicken (The recipe link is at the bottom). Mom and dad cook the meats and some of the sides. Other relatives bring a dish or two.
