Apricot Pandowdy image

A pandowdy is a homey American dessert of cooked fruit covered with a piecrust or biscuit crust that is often cut up halfway through baking and pushed into the fruit. We leave the crust whole here for a quicker and easier version.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lb fresh apricots, quartered lengthwise and pitted
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (10-inch) refrigerated pie dough (from a 15-oz package), unrolled
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Toss apricots with cornstarch and 1/2 cup sugar until coated.
  • Heat butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then stir in apricot mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then immediately transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Fold pie dough into quarters and trim 1 inch from rounded edge. Unfold (trimmed round should be 8 inches in diameter) and put on top of fruit. Brush pastry with milk and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar.
  • Bake until apricot filling is bubbling and crust is golden, about 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

This pandowdy was a disappointment. The crust was too thick and the filling was too tart.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pandowdy turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overcooked it.

I made this pandowdy with fresh apricots from my garden. They were so sweet and juicy, and they made the pandowdy even more delicious.

This pandowdy is a great way to use up leftover apricots. I had a few apricots that were starting to go bad, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but I really enjoyed this pandowdy. The spices and sugar really balance out the tartness of the apricots.

I love the way the apricots caramelize in the oven. It gives the pandowdy a slightly crispy topping that is irresistible.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pandowdy turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change next time is to use a bit less sugar in the filling, as it was a little too sweet for my taste.

This apricot pandowdy was a hit with my family! The crust was flaky and golden brown, and the filling was bursting with juicy apricots and warm spices. It was the perfect dessert to enjoy on a cool autumn evening.
