Caramel Apple Pandowdy Recipe

Hi Susan,

I just happened to have this vintage recipe for apple pandowdy with a biscuit-like topping handy; it sounds very similar to the one you're looking for:

Caramel Apple Pandowdy Recipe

Sauce: 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoonful cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoonful salt, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoonfuls butter, 1 teaspoonful vanilla, 1 teaspoonful lemon juice.

Sauce Directions: Blend brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan, then stir in water and cook on medium heat until sauce mixture thickens slightly, then stir in butter, vanilla, and lemon juice. Set aside.

Batter: 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoonful white sugar, 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder, 1/4 teaspoonful salt, 3 tablespoonfuls shortening, 1 beaten egg, 1/3 cup milk.

Batter Directions: Prepare the drop batter by blending flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then cut in the shortening until all is finely mixed, add egg and milk, and stir with a fork to make a drop batter, but do not over mix. Set aside.

Note: To "cut in the shortening," simply take a fork and mash the slightly chilled shortening into the dry ingredients until it forms little crumbs of dough. It's the little lumps of shortening remaining within the flour mixture that gives a flaky texture to the baked biscuit topping.

Preparation:

Peel and slice enough tart apples to make 4 cups, arrange apple slices in a buttered 9-inch square baking pan, and pour sauce over the apples.

Drop spoonfuls of batter over the apple/sauce mixture. Do not stir. Bake in oven at 375°F for about 35 minutes or so. Serve warm plain, or garnish with freshly whipped cream.
