Pear Pandowdy

It's time for FALL BAKING!!

What do yo do with 4 ripe pears?  You make a pear pandowdy. What is a pandowdy you ask? It is a fruit dessert with a biscuit crust that is sometimes stirred into the fruit before serving.  I tossed this together and took it over to the in-laws house for dessert during the Buffalo Bills game. The cinnamon and pears cooking made the most wonderful smell that the boys couldn't wait to dive right in. The biscuit crust was very delicious I love the flavors. Happy Fall baking.
