• In a food processor, combine the oats, brown sugar, and flour. Pulse a few times.
• Add the butter to the food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
• Place 2 to 4 tablespoonfuls of crumb topping on top of each ramekin.
• Bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Top each ramekin with 1/4 cup of ice cream and serve.

EASY SKILLET APPLE PANDOWDY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to low and stir in cinnamon. Keep warm while you prepare the apples.
• Grease an 8-inch round skillet, pan, pie plate (or equivalent sized) pan. Set on a baking sheet and set aside.
• Peel and core apples, then thinly slice. Add to prepared baking pan, filling the pan about 2/3-3/4 full.
• Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut thawed puff pastry into irregular, 1-inch-ish shapes. Scatter about 1/3 of the pastry pieces randomly over top of apples. Slowly pour the sugar mixture over-top, pouring all around the pan to make sure the filling reaches all parts of the pan. Pour slowly so it drips down into the apples and not over the side. Place the remaining pastry pieces on top, overlapping, as necessary and leaving a few small open spots (to allow steam to escape). Sprinkle a bit of sugar on to the top of pastry.
• Place into preheated oven (on baking sheet to catch overflowing juices!) and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350F and continue baking for an addition 35-40 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and pastry is golden brown and puffy. Let stand a few minutes before serving. Lovely served with a dusting of icing sugar and a scoop of ice cream.

HONEYCRISP APPLE PANDOWDY

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. 2. Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and cook until lightly browned. Remove from the heat. 3. In a large bowl, combine the apples, brown sugar, flour, maple syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and apple cider. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the butter and toss to evenly coat. 4. Place the pastry over the apples and press down gently to secure, tucking the sides of the pastry under the apples as best you can. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Place the skillet on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into large squares to create the "pandowdy". 4. Reduce the oven temp to 350. Return the skillet to the oven and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling up through the cracks of the pastry. If needed cover the top with foil to prevent burning. Spoon the heavy cream over top and then return to the oven for another 10 minutes to "set" the cream. The pastry will turn a dark golden brown. 5. Using a spoon, press the pastry down into warm juices, but don't submerge. Serve warm with ice cream. ENJOY!

APPLE BLACKBERRY PANDOWDY

Steps:

• Begin by making the crust:Stir together the flour and salt, then cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture is the texture of coarse sand. Add 3 tablespoons of ice cold water and stir it in with a fork until you have a crumbly dough. You may need a 4th tablespoon of water to absorb all of the dry flour.
• Turn the crumbly pie dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and press it together into a disc. Wrap it well, then place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour or up to three days. When the crust is ready, roll it into a 10″ round disc and cut it into four 2 1/2″ wide strips, then cut the other way to make rough squares. You don't have to be too careful with this step, and the pieces won't be square around the edges.
• Place the pie crust pieces on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover them with the plastic wrap, and replace in the refrigerator.
• Next, make the apple filling:Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a rack in the center of the oven.
• Cut about 2 lbs. of baking apples (firm baking apples are great, like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, etc. are a great option) into 1/2″ slices. You should have approximately 8 cups of sliced apples. Toss the apple slices in the 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice.
• In a separate bowl, stir together the brown sugar, spices, salt, and flour. Toss this over the apples, stirring to distribute it evenly. In a 10″ skillet, melt down the 6 Tbsp. of butter over medium heat. Add the apples and cook for a couple of minutes to allow them to soften and release their juices.
• Add 1/2 cup of the apple juice and stir it in while continuing to cook. If the liquid is getting too thick and starts to stick to the pan, add the other quarter cup, a bit at a time, to prevent the filling from burning.
• Allow the apples to cook and simmer for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally. They should be soft but still a bit firm in the center and not be mushy.
• Toss the blackberries in the 2 Tbsp. of white sugar, then sprinkle them over the top of the apples. Distribute them as evenly as possible.
• Place the chilled pie crust squares on top of the apple blackberry filling.
• Brush the 1 Tbsp. of melted butter onto the pie crust, then stir together the 2 Tbsp. of white sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon over the top.
• Place the pan of pandowdy in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust squares are no longer doughy. Remove it from the oven and carefully press down on the pastry squares, allowing them to crack a bit and the juices from the filling to seep over them some.
• Return the pandowdy to the oven and cook for another 25-30 minutes, or until the top of the crust is a deep golden brown.
• Remove the pandowdy from the oven and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes before serving. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
• Store any leftover pandowdy on the counter, making sure to cover it well. (cooked fruit fillings are counter safe)
