Apple Pandowdy Mold from Good Housekeeping's book of Menus, Recipes and Household Discoveries-1922. A little more work than a pie, but worth the effort. Add water and lemon juice; cook and stir over medium heat until thick. I have been making this dessert for many years; found it in a Purity Flour cookbook I purchased, one of my first recipe books!

Top with ice cream and enjoy. Apple pandowdy is a maple flavored or molasses deep dish apple desert. Traditionally the desert is dowdied before serving--that is the crust is broken up with a spoon or knife and stirred into the apple filling.
