How to cook deliciously - Apple Pandowdy

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium saucepan, mix together the brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt; add the water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, whisking, until thick. Cover and set aside.

2. Stage

In a bowl, combine the baking powder, remaining 1 cup flour and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in 3 tablespoons butter. Mix in the milk just until moistened (a few lumps will remain); set aside.

3. Stage

Arrange the apples in a 1-1/2-quart baking dish, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir the nutmeg, vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoons butter into the brown sugar sauce until smooth. Pour the sauce over the apples.

4. Stage

Drop the dough by spoonfuls over the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the coarse sugar and remaining 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the dough.

5. Stage

Bake the dessert until the top is brown and the apples are tender, about 55 minutes. Serve warm, with whipped cream if desired. Editor's Tip: The juicy apples and rich sauce will likely simmer up over the topping while in the oven. If you love how this caramelizes the crust, help it along by pressing down on the topping with the back of a spoon once the apples start to simmer. Set a sheet pan under the baking dish to catch any filling that bubbles over.
