Apple Pandowdy

There is something special about Saturdays. I'm happy to be baking. I finally got to make the Apple Pandowdy I mentioned in a previous post. It's in the oven right now. The hard part is going to be letting it cool awhile before I try to eat it. I think it's going to be similar to the Bisquick coffee cake I used to make when I was a teenager, and apple pie.  We'll see.

The only change I made to the recipe was to sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Apple Pandowdy

I found this recipe on Cook's dot com and I'm going to give it a try soon. I got two different types of apples for a better flavor.  It's rather like peach cobbler I think, only with apples. I got the idea from America's Test Kitchen, but their recipes are always too complicated, so I went with the easy way instead. In their version you have to make a pie crust. Not that that's so horrible, it's just that my kitchen is tiny and rolling out dough isn't fun. I believe I got granny smith and braeburn. According to the Cooks Thesaurus I actually made a good choice completely at random.

Apples are considered magical because when you cut them in half, there is a star inside.
