Apple-Pecan Cobbler

I got this one from the Goose Berry Patch Merry Christmas Cookbook. I made it to take to my DAR Christmas tea and it was a big hit!

Ingredients:
4 c apples, thinly sliced
1 1/2 c sugar, divided
1/2 teas cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped pecans, divided
1 teas baking powder
1 teas salt
1 egg beaten
1/2 c. evaporated milk
1/3 c butter, melted

Directions:
Arrange apple slices in an even layer in the bottom of a greased 2 quart casserole dish. Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup pecans in a small bowl; sprinkle mixture over apples. In a separate bowl, shift together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and butter. Add egg mixture to flour mixture all at once. Stir until smooth. Pour mixture over apples and sprinkle with remaining pecans. Bake at 325 degrees for 55 minutes. When serving, top with whip cream or vanilla ice cream. Serves 8 to 12 depending on portion size.

*Note* You will have to used more than one "layer" to get all 4 cups of apples into the casserole dish. Make sure to use all 4 cups (approximately 4 medium size apples) because they do cook down quite a bit and the cobbler is a little too "doughy" if you short the apples.
