¾ cup brown sugar
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ cup flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup water

Apple Filling

Preheat oven to 375

In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, salt, vanilla extract and water. Using one tablespoon of butter, butter a 9X14 baking dish. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Dot the tops of the apples with the remaining tablespoon of softened butter.

Topping

Combine the sifted flour, brown sugar. Baking powder and salt and blend well. Blend in the butter and beaten egg. Drop the batter into 12 portions, over the apples, spacing the batter out evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Serve with cinnamon ice cream.
