How To Make apple & blueberry pandowdy

• 
  Step 1
  THE CRUST
• 
  Step 2
  Gather your ingredients.
• 
  Step 3
  Place the almonds and sugar into a food processor, fitted with an S-blade.
• 
  Step 4
  Using 1-second pulses, pulse until finely ground.
• 
  Step 5
  Chef’s Note: There is a fine line between finely ground, and making peanut butter. If you use 1-second pulses, you’re controlling the process. I you just turn the food processor on and let it grind away, you are probably going to wind up with almond butter.
• 
  Step 6
  Add the flour, and salt.
• 
  Step 7
  Pulse the mixture to combine.
• 
  Step 8
  Take the cubed and chilled butter, and drop into the bowl of the food processor.
• 
  Step 9
  Give the mixture several 1-second pulses until the butter is reduced to pea-sized bits.
• 
  Step 10
  Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse each time, until the mixture comes together.
• 
  Step 11
  Chef’s Note: Depending on the flour, the humidity, and other factors, the dough might come together after 3 tablespoons of water… 5 tablespoons of water, or even more. You don’t want it sticky, you just want it to come together.
• 
  Step 12
  Shape the dough into a flattened round.
• 
  Step 13
  Chef’s Note: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, to incorporate any dry ingredients.
• 
  Step 14
  Cover in cling film, and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour.
• 
  Step 15
  THE FILLING
• 
  Step 16
  Gather your ingredients.
• 
  Step 17
  Peel the apples, and then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• 
  Step 18
  Add them to a bowl, and toss with the sugar and the lemon juice.
• 
  Step 19
  Add the butter to a large skillet, over medium to medium-high heat.
• 
  Step 20
  When the foaming subsides add the apples.
• 
  Step 21
  Stir until they become slightly softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• 
  Step 22
  Add the flour, cinnamon, and salt.
• 
  Step 23
  Stir the mixture until the liquid begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• 
  Step 24
  Remove the skillet from the heat, and fold in the berries.
• 
  Step 25
  Allow the mixture to completely cool before proceeding.
• 
  Step 26
  While the filling is cooling, remove the dough from the refrigerator.
• 
  Step 27
  Roll out on a lightly floured surface until 1/4 inch in thickness.
• 
  Step 28
  Cut into squares of varying sizes, about 2 to 3 inches.
• 
  Step 29
  Add the cooled filling to a pie pan of your choice.
• 
  Step 30
  Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 425f (168c).
• 
  Step 31
  Arrange the dough squares in a random arrangement over the top.
• 
  Step 32
  Chef’s Note: Leave some space between the squares to allow steam to escape.
• 
  Step 33
  Beat the egg.
• 
  Step 34
  Brush the egg mixture over the crust.
• 
  Step 35
  Sprinkle a bit of sugar over the top (optional).
• 
  Step 36
  Place the pandowdy in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
• 
  Step 37
  Reduce the temperature to 325f (128c)
• 
  Step 38
  Bake for an additional 35 minutes, until the filling is bubbly.
• 
  Step 39
  Chef’s Note: If it looks like the crust is getting too brown, shield the top with a piece of foil.
• 
  Step 40
  Remove from oven and serve warm… maybe with some nice vanilla ice cream. Enjoy.
• 
  Step 41
  Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
