apple pan dowdy

This is an old fashioned apple receipe from a dear friend of mine who's a great baker. I wanted to share it with you because it's starting to feel like fall and my thoughts turn towards cool cozy days with the smell of cinnamon and apples in the air. Baking makes a house fragrant and to me... that's part of making your house a home, a place you love to be.

Apple Pan Dowdy

1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
