  • -pound)
  • 3 tb Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 c Dried cranberries
  • 1/4 c Sugar
  • 1 ts Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
  • Vegetable cooking spray
  • 1 c Pear nectar
  • 3/4 c All-purpose flour
  • 1/8 ts Salt
  • 2 1/2 tb Vegetable shortening
  • 8 ts Ice water
  • 1/4 ts Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 ts Skim milk
  • 1 tb Sugar
  • 1/4 ts Ground cinnamon

 Directions

Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl; toss well. Combine cranberries and
next 3 ingredients; stir well. Add to apple mixture, and toss well.

Place fruit mixture in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking
spray. Pour pear nectar over fruit mixture.

Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender
until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Combine ice water and 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle ice water
mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, over surface of flour mixture, and toss
with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Gently press dough into a
4-inch square on heavy-duty plastic wrap, and cover with additional plastic
wrap.

Roll the dough, still covered, into an 8-1/4-inch square. Place dough in
freezer 5 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.

Remove plastic wrap; place dough on top of fruit mixture. Cut slits in top
to allow steam to escape. Brush dough with milk. Combine the remaining
ingredients, and sprinkle over dough.

Bake at 400 deg for 30 minutes; remove from oven. Score pastry into 1-inch
squares, using a sharp knife; gently press pastry into fruit mixture with a
spatula, allowing juices to moisten top of pastry.

Bake an additional 20 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. Yield: 6
servings (serving size: 1 cup).

NOTES : A pandowdy is similar to a cobbler. The difference is that halfway
through baking, the crust is scored and pressed into the fruit, a process
called "dowdying."
