Autumn Apple Cobbler

After 2 loaves of bread, a pork and apple pie, and many raw apples in lunches I still had a silly amount of apples left.  The gang was coming over to carve pumpkins and watch Halloween movies so I decided to use another few in an apple cobbler.

I grabbed this recipe and got started.

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Generously grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2. Arrange apple slices (I used Golden Delicious) in an even layer in the baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup pecans. Sprinkle mixture over apples.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together egg, evaporated milk, and melted butter. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture all at once, and stir until smooth. Pour mixture over apples, and sprinkle top with 1/4 cup pecans.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes.

Just before it went in the oven!

This recipe was very quick and easy. The only hang up was the baking time. I pulled it out at about 48 minutes because it was starting to smell burnt. It was very brown on top but it did not have a burnt taste. Next time I will start the timer at 45 minutes and go from there. All in all though it was a tasty dish that wasn't too sweet and I got to use another handful of apples!
