We liked the interesting sandy-fruit dessert called Pandowdy so much that in a week I prepared this interesting pastry in three versions: first peach-blueberry (according to the recipe of Zoryana Ivchenko), then apple (from the English site) and finally I also came up with an apricot version !
In fact, Pandowdy is a simple shortbread pie - made from apricots, apples or other fruits and berries. The recipe blew me away with its ease, simplicity and speed. Once! - kneaded shortbread dough; two! - Prepared fresh fruit filling; three! - put it together and into the oven. It is quite possible to have time to build in the morning delicious dessert for breakfast tea. So I suggest you bake shortcrust pastry apricot pie today.
The most convenient option for preparing such baking is in cast iron pan with heat resistant handle. You can make a filling in it, and then bake a dessert in the same place.
Also, if you want to quickly build simple pastries for morning tea, I recommend apricot crumble - generally a speedy recipe, a record for ease of preparation. There, you don’t even need to cool the dough and collect it into a ball - just pour it in the form of crumbs on top fruit filling.
Ingredients:
For a 24 cm frying pan:
For shortcrust pastry:
- 180 g flour;
- 100 g butter;
- ¼ teaspoon salt;
- 1 tablespoon of sugar;
- 1-2 tablespoons of cold water.
For the apricot filling:
- 20 g butter;
- 500 g of apricots;
- 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (depending on how sweet the fruit is)
- 1 tablespoon starch.
How to bake:
You already know how to make shortcrust pastry from previous recipes: sift flour into a bowl, add salt and sugar, cut cold butter into pieces and grind everything with your hands into crumbs.
Then, a little bit, half a spoon, pour in water and collect the dough into a lump, as soon as it stops crumbling and sticking together - there is enough water.
We press a ball of dough to make a disk - then it will cool more evenly and it will be easier to roll out - and, wrapping it in a bag, put it in the refrigerator for an hour.
Wash the apricots for the filling and remove the pits. Just before baking, mix the fruit with sugar and starch. It is not worth preparing the filling before, as the fruit will release the juice, and it will become too liquid.
Turn on the oven, let it warm up to 200 C. Melt a piece of butter in a pan, 20 grams. As soon as the butter starts to turn golden, remove from heat and spread the apricots. You can mix them with starch and sugar right in the pan.
After taking the dough out of the refrigerator, put it between two sheets of parchment and roll it into a cake according to the diameter of the pan.
We remove one sheet of paper, and with the help of the second we transfer the cake to the apricots and lay it on top of the filling.
Don't worry if the edges of the cake are uneven - you don't have to worry too much about neatness in this cake! Brush the top of the dough with maple syrup egg white or just water, and sprinkle with sugar - then you get a delicious sugar crust.
We put the pan in a preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Then, when the dough is already half ready, we take it out and cut the cake into squares with a knife.
\
Put the pie back in the oven and cook for another 10 minutes. When the dough turns golden brown, the apricot pie is ready.
You can eat this simple shortbread pie with apricots directly from the pan with spoons, waiting for the pastries to cool a little.
Warm pie can be served with ice cream.
Summer is about to come, the juiciest season will come. And if you're still crazy about sweet pastries, you can cook an open shortcake with apricots. You can supplement the recipe with sour cream filling.

2. Drive an egg into this mixture and mix again (photo 5).
3. Add sour cream and sugar. If there is no extra sour cream, then you can not add it to the dough at all. But you need to mix it well. After that, the dough is sent to the refrigerator for 45 minutes.
4. We cover the bottom of the mold parchment paper and grease the sides with margarine or butter. We put the dough in this form so that sufficiently high sides are obtained along the edge.
5. Now it's the turn of the cream. All the right ingredients mix in one container. Beat this mixture with a mixer, and cut the prepared apricots in half and discard the seeds.
6. To prepare a delicious pie, it is important to remember that the berries must be dried after washing. If water from them drains onto the dough, it will completely ruin the result.
7. Place the apricot halves on the cake and pour over the prepared cream. Sour cream filling should not completely “flood” the cake, the sides should look out.
