Steps:
- Put chopped apples in a large mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice. Whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch and salt. Pour over apples and toss again. Spray a round baking dish (could use a 9 x 9 square dish) with cooking spray and pour in the apples. Sprinkle on vanilla extract and maple syrup. Cut butter up in small pieces over the apples. Put pie crust on and cut 3 slits in top. (I use a Pillsbury frozen pie crust but you could make your own).
- Place in preheated 400 degree oven for 30 - 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cut pie crust into small squares. Press the crust down into the pie filling. (You can use a spoon, spatula or whatever is convenient for you). Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and return to oven for 30 - 35 more minutes until brown on top. Serve with ice cream on top

Steps:

- On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough into a 10-inch square. Drape over apples, tucking pastry in and down around the edges. Cut a few vents in crust to allow steam to escape. If desired, brush with cream.

Push some of the pieces back down into the apple juices. Return to oven until juices are bubbling and the crust is golden brown and crisp, 10 to 20 minutes more.

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.

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. Bring to a simmer over low heat, and stir constantly until the mixture has thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool for about 10 minutes, and stir in the vanilla extract and butter. Pour the mixture over the apple slices in the pan.
- Mix together 1 cup flour and the baking powder in a bowl until there are no more lumps, and cut the shortening into the flour mixture until the mixture forms crumbs the size of peas. Stir in the milk, and spread the batter over the apples and syrup.

APPLE-RASPBERRY PANDOWDY
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.

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 PAN DOWDY
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:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your pan dowdy a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
- Peel and core your apples before slicing them. This will help the apples to cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the apples will not cook evenly and the pan dowdy will be soggy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan. This will help to prevent the apples from burning.
- Cook the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape. You don't want them to become mushy.
- Serve the pan dowdy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Apple pan dowdy is a classic American dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's a perfect dessert for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give apple pan dowdy a try. You won't be disappointed.
