Recipe: Apple Pan Dowdy

Hi Susan;
No you are not imagining it, here is a recipe from an old McCalls cookbook.
APPLE PANDOWDY:
4 1/2 cups thinly sliced, peeled and cored tart apples (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup light molasses
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine
TOPPING:
2 cups bisquick
3 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 cup milk
Light cream

Preheat oven to 375
Lightly grease an 8x8x2" baking dish
In medium saucepan, combine apple slices, molasses, butter and 1/4 cup water, bring to boiling, over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn into prepared baking dish.
Meanwhile make the topping. Combine bisquick, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in small bowl; mix well. Add milk all at once stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Drop by heaping teaspoons onto hot apple mixture; bake 20 minutes or until topping is golden and firm to the touch.
Serve warm with cream. Makes 6-8 servings.
