Servings: persons

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 pounds Pink Lady and/or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1-inch pieces
2/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 (1/2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 package frozen puff pastry (preferably Dufour), thawed, cut into irregular 1-inch pieces
Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
2 pints vanilla ice cream

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F. Cook butter in a small saucepan over medium, swirling often, until bubbling and golden, about 5 minutes; set aside.
2
Toss apples, brown sugar, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Drizzle all but 2 Tbsp. brown butter over apples. Top with pieces of puff pastry, then brush pastry with remaining brown butter. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
3
Bake until pastry is puffed and golden around edges, 25-30 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350u00b0F and bake until juices are thick and bubbling and pastry is brown all over, 30-35 minutes longer.
4
Using a spoon, press pastry down into warm juices (but don't submerge); let cool slightly. Serve warm with ice cream.
5
Pandowdy can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool. Cover loosely with foil and store at room temperature. Reheat uncovered in a 200u00b0F oven 20 minutes before serving.
