pandowdy
Rustic fruit bake
Pandowdy is a traditional American baked dessert, typically made with sliced apples, spices, and molasses or brown sugar, topped with a rough pastry crust that gets pushed down into the fruit during or after baking.
The broken, uneven surface distinguishes it from a pie.
Apple pandowdy with fresh cream for dessert.
