About
Leave it to a deep-dish dessert to deepen your love of apple pie! Apple Pandowdy is a deep-dish take on the all-American favorite, with tender jammy apples coated in a smoky, sweet, and rich sauce with cheerful nutmeg flavor. On top is a flaky, cinnamon sugar crust topping that practically melts in your mouth. Apple Pandowdy is easier to make than a traditional pie without skimping on all of the indulgent tastes. Make sure you have plenty of whipped cream to serve alongside it!
