Here's a great recipe using good fresh apples (you may also use any other fresh fruit or combination, just cook before baking with the topping).
Serves 4 (may also be made individually)
3 cups peeled and sliced ( maximum1/4 inch thick slices) apples..your choice of varieties
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp each ground cloves, ground cinnamon
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg at room temp.
3/4 cup all purpose flour ( *or 50:50 mix with whole wheat)
1/4 cup butter
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4tsp sea salt
1/3 cup milk (nut milk works)
Cream or ice cream to serve
Preheat oven 375F
Mix the flour, salt and baking powder together in a bowl and set aside.
Place the apples in a buttered 1 quart dish , sprinkle with sugar and spices and bake middle shelf for 30 mins or until apples are soft.
Cream butter and gradually add the granulated sugar, beat until light and fluffy (this is important to increase the lightness of the topping).
Add the egg and beat well.
Add the flour mix with the milk alternatively, beating till smooth.* if using 50:50 mix of flour allow for another 2 tbsp milk.
Spread on the cooked apples..it is OK if some apple mix ends up on top of topping...this is a farmhouse/rustic dish.
Sprinkle with more ground spice or sugar (optional)
Bake for 30 mins middle shelf.
Serve warm with ice cream of thick fresh cream, or plain yogurt.
For individual Pandowdies, bake for 25 mins or until top is golden
Fresh dairy butter makes this dish very yummy
For Variations try adding 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract to the topping.
