How to Make Apple Pan Dowdy
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples, brown sugar, molasses, raisins, chopped nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Toss gently to coat.
- Pour the apple mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cold butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and place it over the apple filling. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 60-80 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
