Hi Mom!
Well, Hi honey!
How are you?
I'm fine...I wanted to ask you...I'm making some apple pan bowdy (should be "dowdy," or may be a brand new recipe), and I need some guidance, and since you're the expert...
No one ever told me I was the expert of apple brown betty (I misunderstood).
Things are changing...(Mom is watching the world financial news)
I checked the Fifth Third website today. I could refinance my house at 5% interest for thirty years. Isn't that great?
No.
It's not? I would be paying much less than my current mortgage and my home equity loan combined.
Okay.
Mom was completely engrossed in international finance.
When I spoke to Suzy Mom had not yet received her delivery of IV Cipro, but it was expected. Suzy said she was better than she was when I left her on Sunday, which wasn't bad at all.
I wonder how you make apple pan dowdy...

ReplyDeleteIngredients:
* 1 1/4 cup butter
* 2/3 cup sugar
* 1 egg
* 1 cup milk
* 2 1/2 cups flour
* 3 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 4 cup peeled, sliced apples
* 1/3 cup brown sugar
* 2 teaspoons cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350* F.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
Butter a 9" square baking dish. Place sliced apples in buttered baking dish and sprinkle with a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg. Add flour mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture to make a stiff batter. Spread batter evenly over apples and bake for about 50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for at least ten minutes before serving.
You can serve this dish right out of the pan, or invert it onto a serving plate like an upside-down cake, warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream or ice cream.

Apple Pandowdy is one of a family of simple desserts, known in different parts of the world as cobblers, duffs, grunts, slumps and pandowdies. These desserts have subtle variations, but the base of all of them is fruit baked with a sweet biscuit or cake dough top.
The exact origin of the name Pandowdy is unknown, but it is thought to refer to the dessert's plain or "dowdy" appearance. Looks can be deceiving, apple pandowdy is delicious, especially topped with a bit of ice cream or whipped cream. Both these desserts are super easy to make, yet win rave reviews from diners.
