Sweet, and syrupy apples with crunchy pecans topped with tender and buttery scones.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8" square baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, add sliced apples, pecans, brown sugar, flour, corn starch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg. Toss well to combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Set aside.
In a large-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold grated/cubed butter. Cut the butter into the flour using the tips of your fingertips until the butter pieces are about pea-sized. Drizzle over the cold milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to combine until a thick batter/soft dough forms.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to add scone batter over the apple filling. See how I portioned my scone batter in photos above. Sprinkle over turbinado sugar. Bake for 55-60 minutes until scones are golden brown and apples are bubbling and cooked down. If top begins to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
Allow cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving. This helps the apple juices to set. If you're impatient like me, you can enjoy it right away!
