Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Sliced apple | 1 |
| Brown sugar | 1 cup |
| Flour | 1/4 cup |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Apple cider vinegar | 1 tablespoon |
| Water | 3/4 cup |
| Butter | 2 tablespoons |
| Pure vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Nutmeg | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Cinnamon | 1 teaspoon |
| Flour (for topping) | 1 cup |
| Salt (for topping) | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Baking powder | 2 teaspoons |
| Butter (for topping) | 2 tablespoons |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature while you prepare the other ingredients and the baking dish.
-
Prepare baking dish: Take an 8×10-inch baking dish and layer the sliced apples evenly across the bottom, creating a solid base for the pandowdy.
-
Prepare filling: In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, flour, and apple cider vinegar. Stir in the water and a dash of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously until it thickens into a luscious sauce. Remove it from the heat and add the butter, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon, ensuring they are well incorporated.
-
Pour over apples: Once the filling is ready, pour it evenly over the sliced apples in the baking dish, ensuring that every slice gets coated with the delicious sauce.
-
Prepare topping: In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, creating a crumbly and buttery topping that will add texture to your pandowdy.
-
Layer the topping: Sprinkle the prepared topping evenly over the apple filling, covering it entirely with a generous layer of crumbs that will bake into a golden and crispy crust.
-
Bake: Place the assembled pandowdy in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling with irresistible aroma, tempting you with its deliciousness.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the pandowdy from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, preferably with a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top, adding a touch of indulgence to every bite.
