APPLE PANDOWDY

Steps:

• Crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle 3 tablespoons water over mixture; pulse several times to combine. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until mixture holds together when pinched. Shape dough into an 8-inch square and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut dough into about 20 squares (about 1 to 1 1/2 inches each). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate while making filling.
• Filling: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel, quarter, and core apples, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. In a large bowl, toss together apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, and spices. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons melted butter.
• Arrange dough squares in a patchwork design over apples, overlapping as needed to cover apples almost completely. Brush remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter over squares; sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until beginning to brown around edges, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking until flaky and golden brown all over and juices are bubbling in center, 40 to 45 minutes more. Using the back of a metal spatula, gently press down on dough so it is slightly submerged under apples. Let cool at least 30 minutes. Serve, with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

• 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

• 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.
