When the colonists came to America, not having the same ingredients,they tried to adapt their English desserts, such as steamed pudding. It was often made in a cast iron skillet. Apples were topped with a biscuit topping. The exact origin of the name 'pandowdy' is not known, but believed to be from making it in a pan, and it's rather 'dowdy' appearance.
