Preheat oven to 425 degrees (you will lower to 350 degrees after baking the first layer).
Grease the bottom of the dish with non-stick spray. I use a 9″ x 13″ casserole dish.
Add the brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Mix well.
Add the 2 cups of chopped pecans and mix well.
Pour half of the mixture over the pie crust.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the mixture (again, the crust does not need to be rolled out perfectly).
Brush or spoon the tablespoon of melted butter over the crust and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from oven and turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
Stir the remainder of the pecan pie mixture and pour over the cooked crust.
Bake again for 30 minutes.
Allow the pecan pie cobbler to cool for at least one hour before serving.
OPTIONAL: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top of the warm cobbler.
