APPLE & BLUEBERRY PANDOWDY

I love making a good pandowdy; however, I love eating them more. This pandowdy is a combination of apples and blueberries, but you could use a combination of just about any good fruits. The top crust is totally rustic, and just makes for an excellent presentation. In addition, a pandowdy does not have a bottom crust, so it's...

Number Of Ingredients 17

THE CRUST
2 oz slivered almonds
1/4 c sugar, i use turbinado, but regular granulated will do just fine.
1 & 1/4 c flour, all-purpose variety
1/4 tsp salt, kosher variety
6 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
3-5 Tbsp filtered water
1 large egg, beaten
THE FILLING
2 Tbsp flour, all-purpose variety
3 large tart apples, like a granny smith
2/3 c granulated sugar
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt, kosher variety
12 oz fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • 1. THE CRUST
  • 2. Gather your ingredients.
  • 3. Place the almonds and sugar into a food processor, fitted with an S-blade.
  • 4. Using 1-second pulses, pulse until finely ground.
  • 5. Chef's Note: There is a fine line between finely ground, and making peanut butter. If you use 1-second pulses, you're controlling the process. I you just turn the food processor on and let it grind away, you are probably going to wind up with almond butter.
  • 6. Add the flour, and salt.
  • 7. Pulse the mixture to combine.
  • 8. Take the cubed and chilled butter, and drop into the bowl of the food processor.
  • 9. Give the mixture several 1-second pulses until the butter is reduced to pea-sized bits.
  • 10. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse each time, until the mixture comes together.
  • 11. Chef's Note: Depending on the flour, the humidity, and other factors, the dough might come together after 3 tablespoons of water... 5 tablespoons of water, or even more. You don't want it sticky, you just want it to come together.
  • 12. Shape the dough into a flattened round.
  • 13. Chef's Note: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, to incorporate any dry ingredients.
  • 14. Cover in cling film, and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour.
  • 15. THE FILLING
  • 16. Gather your ingredients.
  • 17. Peel the apples, and then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • 18. Add them to a bowl, and toss with the sugar and the lemon juice.
  • 19. Add the butter to a large skillet, over medium to medium-high heat.
  • 20. When the foaming subsides add the apples.
  • 21. Stir until they become slightly softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • 22. Add the flour, cinnamon, and salt.
  • 23. Stir the mixture until the liquid begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
  • 24. Remove the skillet from the heat, and fold in the berries.
  • 25. Allow the mixture to completely cool before proceeding.
  • 26. While the filling is cooling, remove the dough from the refrigerator.
  • 27. Roll out on a lightly floured surface until 1/4 inch in thickness.
  • 28. Cut into squares of varying sizes, about 2 to 3 inches.
  • 29. Add the cooled filling to a pie pan of your choice.
  • 30. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 425f (168c).
  • 31. Arrange the dough squares in a random arrangement over the top.
  • 32. Chef's Note: Leave some space between the squares to allow steam to escape.
  • 33. Beat the egg.
  • 34. Brush the egg mixture over the crust.
  • 35. Sprinkle a bit of sugar over the top (optional).
  • 36. Place the pandowdy in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  • 37. Reduce the temperature to 325f (128c)
  • 38. Bake for an additional 35 minutes, until the filling is bubbly.
  • 39. Chef's Note: If it looks like the crust is getting too brown, shield the top with a piece of foil.
  • 40. Remove from oven and serve warm... maybe with some nice vanilla ice cream. Enjoy.
  • 41. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Butter provides flavor, while shortening helps to create a tender, flaky texture.
  • Work the butter and shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. This will help to prevent a tough crust.
  • Add just enough water to bring the dough together. If you add too much water, the dough will be sticky and difficult to work with.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. If you press too hard, the dough will be tough.
  • Trim the edges of the dough to create a clean, even crust.
  • Brush the edges of the dough with milk or egg wash before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Bake the pandowdy until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.
  • Serve the pandowdy warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Blueberry pandowdy is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust and sweet, juicy filling, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
