1. 1

   Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees.

2. 2

   Gently stir together the fruit, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon rind and juice in a large bowl. Pour the fruit into the prepared pan.

3. 3

   Scatter the 1 tablespoon butter slivers over the fruit.

4. 4

   Whisk to combine.

5. 5

   Add 3/4 cup of the cream and stir with a fork.

6. 6

   The mixture will be stringy.

7. 7

   Knead with your hand about 45 seconds and it will become smooth.

8. 8

   Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness.

9. 9

   Trim it to about 1/2 inch larger than the baking dish.

10. 10

    Cut a small circle out of the center of the crust to serve as a steam vent, and carefully place the crust over the fruit.

11. 11

    Do not press the crust against the sides of the pan.

12. 12

    Reroll the scraps and cut as decorations if you desire.

13. 13

    Brush the crust with the remaining 1 tablespoon of cream and sprinkle with the teaspoon of sugar.

14. 14

    Place the pandowdy on a baking sheet with raised sides and bake 10 minutes.

15. 15

    Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and loosely cover the crust with a foil tent, shiny side out.

16. 16

    Continue baking until the crust is golden and the fruit bubbly, 35 to 45 minutes.

17. 17

    Either "dowdy" the crust now by pushing it under the surface of the fruit or serve crust side down in bowls.

18. 18

    Serve this warm from the oven or at room temperature, with or without ice cream.
