Cooking in Augusta

I am struggling to find some good recipes using walnuts.  I’d like to keep it in my southern roots style, but want to use walnuts.  I’ve been on a big nut kick as the positive benefits of using nuts in cooking and as snacks continue to come out.  I’m especially interested in walnuts because of the supposed benefits.

Stuff you need:
* 8 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced into thin wedges
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
* 2 teaspoons cornstarch
*
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
* 1/4 cup boiling water
*
* MIX TOGETHER:
* 3 tablespoons white sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to do it:
1. Preheat stove to 425 degrees
2. In a large bowl, add peaches, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and corn starch.
3. Coat evenly and pour into a 2 qt baking dish.
4. Bake for 10 minutes.
5. Combine flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
6. Blend in butter with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal.
7. Stir in water until just combined.
8. Take peaches out of stove, and drop topping from bowl on them.
9. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
10. Put back in over until top is gold in color.  It may take about 1/2 hour.
