Apple-pecan cobbler

Serves 8

Ingredients:

• 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1-1/2 cups orange juice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground clove
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour (or make your own gluten-free baking flour mix)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
• 1 egg
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Use a large bowl to combine the apples, one cup of orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, cornstarch and pecans, and mix well.
3. Add the apple mixture to an 11 x 7-inch baking dish and set aside.
4. In a medium-size bowl, blend together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Make a well in the center and add the remaining orange juice, egg, butter and milk. Mix well until a smooth batter forms.
5. Use a spoon to dollop the batter over the apple mixture. Use a spatula to smooth out the batter and spread it evenly over the apples.
6. Sprinkle the top with the three tablespoons of brown sugar and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden.
