When I tried the Houston’s Walnut Apple Cobber, I knew we had recreated the Houston’s Walnut Apple Cobbler. This is wonderful! This is really best when served warm. By far, the Houston’s Walnut Apple Cobbler, has been the best apple cobbler I have tried, we combine many different layers of apple flavor to make it taste just right.

Ingredients
- 1 20 can can sliced apples note, these apples are packed in water
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 cup chopped Walnuts
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon plus 2 teaspoons
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup white corn syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
Cookie Crumb Topping
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 ounces butter cold
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Filling In the mixing bowl add canned apples, water, walnuts cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, butter, corn syrup, brown sugar ingredients and stir well.
If you do not have enough apple juice from can of apples add a little water to make up the difference. Set aside.
Cookie Crumb Topping
This is easy to blend in a food processor. Cut butter into four pieces and place in the processor, add sugar, vanilla, and egg. Process until blended. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, blend dry ingredients until all is mixed well. Should form a ball very quickly.
Remove from processor and place between waxed paper and chill just long enough so dough may be rolled out without sticking to the wax paper. Spray baking pan with an oil spray and pour walnut mixture in an 8"x11.5"x2" baking dish and cover with rolled out cookie dough topping.
Bake at 375 degrees 20 - 24 minutes, the top should be golden brown. Walnut cobbler should be served hot with crust side down with a generous serving of your favorite vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
Please use apples that are packed in water, not all stores carry these. Brands that do make sliced apples in water are Musselmans and Lucky Leaf.

This came out a soupy mess, too much liquid not enough apples. Crust was pain in the neck to roll. Wouldn’t make it again.

I will double check when I go to the grocery store this weekend. If not, I will update the recipe. I normally shop at HEB (a Texas chain of grocery stores), and Kroger.

Everyone leaves out the best part of the recipe, the caramel sauce! Am I missing something?
