Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the cobbler.
Prepare the strawberry filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the strawberries are well coated with the sugar mixture. Then, pour this mixture evenly into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
Make the cobbler topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the topping tender. Fold the chopped pecans into the mixture gently.
Assemble the cobbler: Spoon the pecan topping evenly over the strawberry filling in the baking dish, covering the fruit as much as possible.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving, allowing the filling to thicken up slightly. For best results, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For an extra crunch, sprinkle a tablespoon of turbinado sugar over the topping before baking.
This cobbler pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic, indulgent dessert experience.
