Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 F. Butter shallow 2 1/2-quart baking dish.

Dough: Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. With pastry blender, cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Add water, stirring just to moisten.

Filling: Mix apples and lemon juice in large bowl. Sprinkle with flour and cinnamon; toss. Transfer to saucepan. Add maple syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon into prepared baking pan. Dot with butter.

Drop dough in rounded tablespoons over hot filling. Sprinkle with sugar.

Bake in 400 F oven 35 minutes, until topping is golden brown. If topping browns too quickly, cover with foil.

Serve pandowdy warm or with cream if desired.
