Houston's Walnut Apple Cobbler

Prepare the cobbler topping by combining the butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg in a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until combined and uniform in color. With the mixer running, slowly add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined and the mixture forms a doughy ball.

Remove the cobbler topping from the mixer and place between two sheets of waxed paper. Place it in the refrigerator until chilled (about 30-60 minutes).

When chilled, roll the topping out on a lightly floured surface.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8x11-inch baking dish.

Combine the apples, apple liquid, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, melted butter, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a bowl. Mix well. Add additional water as needed if the filling is too dry.

Place the apple filling in the greased baking dish. Top with the cobbler topping.

Place the cobbler in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is browned.

To serve, scoop the cobbler from the pan using a large spoon. Invert the cobbler into individual bowls or plates so it is crust-side down. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, as desired.
