Ingredients

Cranberry Orange Filling

8 cups cranberries
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup orange juice
Zest from 1 orange
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Cobbler Topping

1 ½ cups all purpose flour
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, cut into small pieces
⅓ cup boiling water

Brown Sugar Peccan Topping

¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
¾ cup pecans, chopped
¼ cup all purpose flour
¼ cup butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Set aside.

Cranberry Orange Mixture

In a large bowl, add cranberries, sugars, orange juice, zest, and cornstarch. Stir until well combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Cobbler Topping

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt.
Add in cut butter and boiling water, and mix until well incorporated.

Brown Sugar Pecan Topping

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pecans, and flour. Pour in melted butter and mix until fully combined.
Pour out cranberry mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
Add cobbler topping over cranberries and then sprinkle brown sugar pecan topping over the cobbler topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly and cobbler topping is fully baked.

Notes

Use a rimmed baking sheet: The cranberry mixture will release juices as it bakes, so a rimmed baking sheet helps keep everything contained.
Line the pan well: Foil makes cleanup much easier after the cranberry filling bubbles during baking.
Don't skip the 10-minute rest: Letting the cranberry mixture sit gives the fruit time to combine with the sugar and orange.
Use fresh orange zest: Zesting the orange right before making the filling gives you the brightest citrus flavor.
Cut the butter into small pieces: Smaller pieces are easier to incorporate into the cobbler topping.
Don't overwork the topping: Mix the cobbler topping until everything is incorporated, but don't worry about making it perfectly smooth.
Spread the toppings evenly: This helps ensure that every serving gets a little of the soft cobbler topping and crunchy pecan topping.
Watch the edges: The edges can brown faster than the center, so keep an eye on the cobbler during the final few minutes of baking.
