That's Yankee food. Easy to make, you use bisquick like pie crust over any kind of fruit you have laying around, but traditional pandowdy is whipped up on apple farms using apples fresh off the tree. My granddad was an apple grower and my grandma could make from-scratch pandowdy my brother , cousins and I would fight over for the last piece. Here's a recipe:

If you don't want to go thru the trouble of making your own crust, just folow the same recipe, make up a batch of Bisqucik and poor an inch or so of it over it and bake it the same way -almost as good as from scratch.
