APPLE-RAISIN PANDOWDY



Apple-Raisin Pandowdy image

A pandowdy is a fruit dessert, usually sweetened with brown sugar or molasses, that's closely related to a pie -- without the bottom crust. Its pastry top is broken with a spoon halfway through cooking so the collapsed bits soak up the juices and soften. For ours, we used brown sugar and apples and raisins laced with cardamom and allspice.

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds mixed apples, such as Rome Beauty, Empire, and Cortland, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch of ground cardamom
Pinch of ground allspice
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Toasted-Pecan Dough
Heavy cream, for brushing
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss together apples, raisins, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cardamom, allspice, and salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Dot top with butter; set aside.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to an 11-inch round that is about 1/8 inch thick. Carefully place dough on top of apple mixture. Fold edge under itself, crimping if desired. Chill in freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Brush dough with cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until crust is set and beginning to brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; gently push some of the crust into the filling using a spoon. Bake until crust is golden brown and crisp and juices are bubbling, 25 to 35 minutes more. If crust is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil. Let cool on a wire rack 1 hour before serving.

APPLE PAN DOWDY

An old fashioned recipe my mother has made since 1954. You add a cooked syrup over the apples, and top with a flour combination topping. It is a different type of apple cobbler you will really enjoy. You can serve plain or top with milk or ice cream.

Time 1h20m

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish. Layer the sliced apples evenly into the baking dish.
  • Mix together brown sugar and 1/4 cup flour in a saucepan, and stir in vinegar and water until the mixture is well blended and the sugar has dissolved.

Pour the mixture over the apple slices in the pan.

APPLE-RASPBERRY PANDOWDY



Apple-Raspberry Pandowdy image

Entry-level bakers, this one's for you. Essentially a batter-topped cobbler, it's assembled in one pan: Toss tart apples with lime juice and cinnamon, then cover them with a drop-biscuit batter and a sprinkle of fresh raspberries. Finish with a fine veneer of sugar drizzled with hot water, so it melts into a delicate shell; then pop it in the oven until the top is crisp and golden brown, and present it with pride-a foolproof, down-home finale for your feast.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 pounds tart apples, such as Granny Smith, cored, peeled, and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rye flour
2/3 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups raspberries (about 6 ounces)
1/3 cup hot water
Vanilla ice cream or heavy cream (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a 2 1/2-quart baking dish or cake pan, toss apples with lime zest and juice and cinnamon; spread in an even layer. Transfer dish to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet (to catch any juices that bubble over).
  • Beat butter with 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla on medium speed to combine, about 1 minute (mixture will be grainy). Add both flours and beat until no dry flour remains and mixture is crumbly. With motor running, slowly add milk, beating until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spoon batter over apples, then spread to edges in an even layer. Scatter raspberries over batter. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup sugar evenly over top. Drizzle hot water over sugar (most will melt).
  • Bake until top is crisp and golden brown and cake is set, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Serve warm, topped with ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.

APPLE PANDOWDY



Apple Pandowdy image

Apple pandowdy is a bit like an apple pie but with fluffy cake on top. When I was growing up, we had an apple tree in the back yard. The apples were too tart to eat raw, but they were delicious in baked desserts. This is the first one I ever made on my own. You can substitute molasses for brown sugar like I normally do, and I use vanilla paste instead of vanilla extract. You can also omit the bourbon, if desired.

APPLE PAN DOWDY



Apple Pan Dowdy image

This version of the old fashioned recipe has apples, nuts and raisins together with spices, brown sugar and molasses under a very rich pastry crust. The other recipe on Zaar seems to top the apples with a cake-like topper but this is wonderful too. From the March 1981 Bon Appetit magazine.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the apples. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Use a good quality cinnamon. Freshly ground cinnamon has the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. In addition to cinnamon, you could try adding nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This is the perfect dessert for a cold night.
