Apple pandowdy is a maple flavored or molasses deep dish apple desert. Traditionally the desert is dowdied before serving--that is the crust is broken up with a spoon or knife and stirred into the apple filling. Oddly enough, over the years this type of "messed up" appearance has come more often to be applied to people than to desert. It is common in our language for an individual to be referred to as ......dowdy in appearance.
