APPLE PANDOWDY

This classic American dessert from the 19th century is "dowdied" up when dough is cut into pieces instead of being left whole.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 to 4 tablespoons ice-cold water
3 1/2 pounds tart, firm baking apples, such as Granny Smith or Northern Spy
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle 3 tablespoons water over mixture; pulse several times to combine. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until mixture holds together when pinched. Shape dough into an 8-inch square and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut dough into about 20 squares (about 1 to 1 1/2 inches each). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate while making filling.
  • Filling: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel, quarter, and core apples, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. In a large bowl, toss together apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, and spices. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons melted butter.
  • Arrange dough squares in a patchwork design over apples, overlapping as needed to cover apples almost completely. Brush remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter over squares; sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until beginning to brown around edges, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking until flaky and golden brown all over and juices are bubbling in center, 40 to 45 minutes more. Using the back of a metal spatula, gently press down on dough so it is slightly submerged under apples. Let cool at least 30 minutes. Serve, with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

CLASSIC APPLE PANDOWDY

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds baking apples such as Cortland or Macoun, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out dough
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee (Pie Dough)
2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine apples and lemon juice. Toss to combine. Add sugar, molasses, flour, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, and salt. Toss to combine. Pour into a 9-inch square baking dish, and dot top with butter; set aside.
  • 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.
  • Bake until crust is set and beginning to brown, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and with a spatula or a knife, cut crust into 2-inch squares. 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. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, drizzled with cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape well and won't become mushy when cooked.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent the skins from toughening.
  • Use a sharp knife: This will make it easier to peel and core the apples and prevent them from bruising.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender: This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the type of apple and the size of the pieces.
  • Don't overcook the apples: Overcooked apples will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Add the sugar and spices: Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice until the apples are evenly coated.
  • Serve the apples warm or cold: Apple dandy can be served warm as a side dish or dessert, or chilled as a refreshing snack.

Conclusion:

Apple dandy is a classic American dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, apple dandy is a perfect way to enjoy the taste of fresh apples. This versatile dish can be served warm or cold, and it can be enjoyed as a side dish, dessert, or snack.
