Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease an 8-inch-square baking pan or dish.

In a large mixing bowl, carefully spoon together apples, brown sugar, honey, tapioca, lemon juice, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Pour apple filling into greased pan or dish; drizzle melted butter or margarine on top and set aside.

To make the crust: In another large bowl, combine crust ingredients. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon about 30 seconds until a stiff dough forms. Spoon pecan dough on top of apple-pecan filling to create a cobblestone effect. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool 15 minutes before adding glaze.

To make the glaze: While cobbler is cooling, prepare glaze. In a medium saucepan, stir powdered sugar and milk over low to medium heat until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter or margarine and vanilla. Set aside to cool about 5 minutes; then pour over cooled cobbler to form glaze. Serve immediately.

This recipe serves 5 to 6.

Comments: Crunchy apples and a pecan crust topped with a vanilla glaze conjure up a sublime vision for apple lovers. Best apples to use include: Gravenstein, Granny Smith, Pippin, Rome Beauty, and Winesap.
