ingredients
Cobbler Topping
1/2 cup chilled butter, cut in bits
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Apple Cobbler Filling
1 cup sliced canned apples, drained, liquid reserved
1/2 cup canned apple liquid
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
directions
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.

Not sure why people say too much liquid. It's fine. Dough is not too buttery, filling doesn't need more butter. People are weird with the changes they make! It's very good as is.
I agree too much liquid. Some adjustments I made: I used only a bit more than 1/2 cup of apple juice I used aprox. 2 sticks of butter for the filling (That's just preference we like things buttery) Substitute the corn syrup for maple syrup, and added less than a teaspoon of molasses (optional) Mixed, brown sugar, maple syrup, molasses, butter, apple juice, cinnamon and nutmeg; in a pan until the sugar was dissolved. On very low, and stirred constantly. Set aside and mixed a bit of the nuts (I aded 1/2 cup more) Once ready to build it. Placed apples first on the buttered baking pan with the rest of the nuts, poured the (already cooled) mixture on top of the apples, and then the pie dough on top to cover it.

there is WAY too much liquid in the filling and WAY too much butter in the topping. will be more constructive when i make adjustments with a pastry chef friend :)

This recipe is SO GOOD! I wanted to try something new and came across this. The only thing I add is warm caramel on too after baking the cobbler. Great dessert for holidays. My family and guest love it. Enjoy!
