Easy Apple Pan Dowdy image

This is the Bisquick version that does not require rolling out a crust, so, in my mind, that is a lot less hassle, but all of the great taste of the molasses and apples is still there. I am all for that. Traditionally the "dowdy" part is to break up the crust with a fork or knife just before serving to make it "dowdy" -- you...

Number Of Ingredients 15

FRUITY BOTTOM LAYER:
6 large apples (any kind you like), peeled, sliced thin
2/3 c molasses
1/4 c butter
1/4 c water
CRUSTY BISCUIT TOP:
2 c bisquick
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 eggs yolks
1/4 c milk
2 egg whites, beaten til stiff
OPTIONAL:
1 pt cold heavy cream (for serving)

Steps:

  • 1. FRUITY BOTTOM LAYER: Bring to boil in a large pan the apples, molasses, butter and water -- then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 1 minute
  • 2. Then pour the apple mixture into a 9x13 pan and spread out evenly with a wooden spoon.
  • 3. CRUSTY BISCUIT TOP: Combine the Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl with a fork, then make a well for the wet ingredients
  • 4. In a separate bowl combine the 2 egg yolks and milk till incorporated, then add to the dry ingredients by pouring into the well -- stir to incorporate -- do not overmix
  • 5. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the biscuit mix -- do not overmix.
  • 6. Drop the biscuits by small spoonfuls onto the apples in the pan till all the dough is used. Don't make them too tall in the pan... flatten with a fork if necessary so they are all about the same height (this prevents burning the tips).
  • 7. Bake 375 F, 20-25 minutes or til golden brown
  • 8. To dowdy: break up the biscuits with a fork or knife, to get some of the golden brown baked parts of the biscuits covered with the syrup and apples, but leave some dry.
  • 9. SERVING SUGGESTION: Pour a little cold cream over the warm dessert in each serving bowl, if you like. (optional)
