Apple Pandowdy

What is an Apple Pandowdy you ask? Well, it seems to be a cross between an apple pie and an apple crisp-- like a juicy apple pie without the bottom crust. It's good. You should make it tonight. I found the recipe here.

You'll notice that she suggests putting yours in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Mine baked just fine in a nine-inch, deep-dish pie plate. Serve the pandowdy warm over vanilla ice cream or at room temperature with a big cup of coffee for breakfast, tea, late afternoon snack, heck--whenever.  And don't you just love the name? There's something to be said for a dessert humble enough to call itself 'dowdy,' don't you think?
