Canned Pumpkin
When choosing canned pumpkin at the grocery store pick one that is 100% pure pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling.
Canned pumpkin pie filling is pre-seasoned with spices and other ingredients. Choosing just pumpkin will allow you add your favorite spices and flavors.
Boxed Cake Mix
My boxed cake mix of choice in this recipe is spiced cake mix, which is perfect for fall and Thanksgiving.
Substitute yellow, butter pecan, or a cinnamon flavored cake mix if preferred.
Butter
For the best baked desserts real butter is key, the flavor is classic. A butter substitute can be used or a neutral oil.
Brown Sugar and Flavors
To flavor the pumpkin puree add sweetness with brown sugar, extra pumpkin spice, and vanilla extract. Can substitute maple syrup, honey, or sweetener of choice.
Warm spices like ginger, all spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon would be great substitutions for pumpkin spice. Try this easy mixed spice recipe.
Serving and Toppings
After the pumpkin cobbler has baked up golden and bubbly, served warm right out of the baking pan. Grab a large spoon and scoop it out onto a small plate or bowl.
Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or topping, caramel sauce, toasted nuts, or sprinkle of warm spices.
