This dessert comprises sliced apples topped with pastry. I went off piste and used filo pastry, because it was supposed to use up pastry scraps, so I wasn’t going to make pastry.
My Pandowdy might look dowdy, but it tasted good - in the tradition of apple pie, you can’t go wrong with apples and pastry.

I made these following one of Donna’s online cooking demonstrations. They are very easy to make.
You can find the recipe here should you want to try making these.

These biscuits are flavoured with brown sugar, chocolate and nuts.
They are quite delicate, so they made the perfect icecream sandwich:

This week’s Wednesday with Donna Hay recipe is One Pot Ginger Chicken, from Donna’s new book, One Pan Perfect.
Donna was inspired by Hainanese Chicken with the flavours in this dish - ginger, chilli, garlic.

Kayte is resurrecting Wednesdays with Donna Hay on a casual basis. We may not post every Wednesday, but we will post whenever we make a new Donna Hay recipe.
This week, I made a recipe from Donna’s new book, One Pan Perfect. The recipe is Spiced Meatballs in Sticky Chilli Sauce. There are great Asian flavours in these meatballs - garlic, ginger, green onion and chilli.
I served my meatballs with cauliflower rice and veggies.
I highly recommend both this recipe and Donna’s new book.
These biscuits are compromised solely if ground almonds, coconut, sugar and eggwhite. They are meant to be filled with ganache, but I just baked in a chocolate chip instead.
These biscuits are rather messy and crumbly before baking, and you have to be a bit gentle at that stage to stop them from disintegrating. However, they bake up quite firmly, and are quite healthy with only fat from the coconut and almonds.

I buy English muffins occasionally but I have never made them myself. It takes a little planning to make them as the process takes 4 hours or so. If you want them for breakfast, you have to start the night before.
I was pleased with how mine turned out - here’s one with ham, egg, cheese and tomato chutney:
