Old Fashioned Apple Pan Dowdy

Much like a traditional apple pie but with a cake like topping which gets turned over like an upside down cake. Other alternatives are placing a regular pie crusts over the top in small squares, then when half baked, you shove the broken crusts down into the pie and cook an additonal 15 minutes. ( this is the more tradional style) , hence the name " dowdy * , is meant to reference the beat up , dowdy look of the crusts, but dont let appearances fool you , this is an outstanding, delicious dessert.

** NOTE** FOR SOME, YOU MIGHT FIND IT BEST TO SPRAY COAT YOUR PANS AND THEN LINE THEM WITH A PARCHMENT PAPER AHEAD OF TIME SO THAT WHEN YOU TURN IT OUT IT COMES OUT EASILY AND THEN YOU JUST REMOVE THE PARCHMENT PAPER, OTHERWISE IT MAY STICK TO THE PAN..**
