Apple Pandowdy image

I have been making this dessert for many years; found it in a Purity Flour cookbook I purchased, one of my first recipe books! It is sweet and delicious! Hope you will like it! The topping is not sweet, increase the amount of sugar if you prefer, it is nice with a little nutmeg in the batter also. Note the batter does not have to cover the fruit completely, the apple mixture will bubble up and it looks nice. I sometimes add fresh cranberries to the apple mixture.
