Apple walnut cobbler 2 1/2 pounds sliced apples (Granny Smith preferred) 1/2 pound butter 1/2 teaspoon allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1 tablespoon cinnamon 3/4 cup light brown sugar 3 tablespoons lemon juice Pie dough, enough for 4 crusts Topping (recipe follows) Grease large baking pan (such as a cookie sheet with sides) with shortening. Evenly place a thin layer of dough throughout pan (it probably would take 2 crusts to make enough dough to cover bottom of pan.) Evenly distribute sliced apples over crust. Melt butter, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, brown sugar and lemon juice in top of double boiler set over hot water. If using a saucepan instead, stir mixture constantly to keep mixture from burning. Pour evenly over apples. Use remaining dough to form a thin top crust patching any holes or gaps. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove pie from oven and make 12 2-inch slits in top of crust. Prepare topping: Topping 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 1/4 pounds butter 6 cups English walnuts Melt butter in skillet. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Fold in slightly crumbled walnuts. Remove from heat and mix well, thoroughly coating walnuts. Spread topping evenly over pie. Bake second time for 20 minutes at 300 degrees.
Serve warm with scoop of ice cream.
