Preparation

1 Apple Filling: In a big pot over medium high flame, add 3 tablespoons of water, sliced apples and brown sugar.  Mix to combine, then let cook for a minute or so. Then add cinnamon and vanilla.  Give your apple mixture a nice stir, and let it cook for 5 to 10 minutes. It will look like a nice brown syrup is sitting at the bottom of all the apples. Continue to let it cook, until it starts to boil. Then take a small cup and add 1/4 cup of water and cornstarch. Mix to combine, then slowly add it to the apple mixture. Mix constantly and once a thick gel forms around fruit then add additional 1/4 cup water and continue mixing. Once apple mixture is well combined. Turn off flame and set to the side. 2 Time to preheat the oven: 350 degrees fahrenheit. 3 Cobbler Cake: In  a large bowl mix all dry ingredients (sugar, flour, baking soda and powder, salt) together.  Then add in cold butter, and with two butter knives start to cut in butter into the flour mixture in a criss cross motion.  This will take about 10 minutes. Flour mixture will eventually become crumbly with the butter pieces the size of peas.  Set to the side. In a medium bowl add eggs, half and half, vanilla, and sour cream. Then take a fork and as DEVO would say… WHIP IT! Whip it good. Now add egg/sour cream mixture to flour mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until combined/moistened. Divide cobbler cake batter in half. In a 9 x 13 inch greased metal baking pan, add h 4 Cobbler Topping: Lastly take cobbler and sprinkle with sugar and pecans! 5 Bake for 60 minutes or until tester toothpick comes out clean. Your cobbler will be golden and your kitchen will smell sweet.
