Apple-Pecan Cobbler

***APPLE FILLING***
5 1/4 cups peeled -- sliced apples, (4
-- to 6 apples)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
***PECAN SHORTCAKE CRUST***
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
1/2 cup whipping cream or 2% low-fat milk
***VANILLA GLAZE***
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup whole milk or 2% low-fat milk
1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 425F. Grease an 8-inch-square baking pan or dish.

In a large mixing bowl, carefully spoon together apples, brown sugar, honey, tapioca, lemon juice, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Pour apple filling into greased pan or dish; drizzle melted butter or margarine on top and set aside.

To make the crust: In another large bowl, combine crust ingredients. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon about 30 seconds until a stiff dough forms. Spoon pecan dough on top of apple-pecan filling to create a cobblestone effect. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool 15 minutes before adding glaze.

To make the glaze: While cobbler is cooling, prepare glaze. In a medium saucepan, stir powdered sugar and milk over low to medium heat until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter or margarine and vanilla. Set aside to cool about 5 minutes; then pour over cooled cobbler to form glaze. Serve immediately. This recipe serves 5 to 6.

Comments: Crunchy apples and a pecan crust topped with a vanilla glaze conjure up a sublime vision for apple lovers. Best apples to use include: Gravenstein, Granny Smith, Pippin, Rome Beauty, and Winesap.
