Apple Pudding

Apple Pudding

unsure of the origin of this one:

½ cup melted butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 cup milk

2 cups peeled apple, chopped (personal favorite for this is Granny Smith)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Pour melted butter into a casserole dish with high-ish sides* (similar to this). 

In a bowl, combine sugars, flour, and baking powder, then add milk and whisk until smooth. Pour into the casserole dish (with the melted butter) without mixing.

In a small saucepan, heat apples with cinnamon and nutmeg until slightly softened.

Pour apples into the center of the batter, again without mixing.

Bake in the preheated oven 30 - 40 minutes, or until golden.

Serve warm - drizzle the plate or bowl with with caramel sauce, then add a scoop of the pudding and top with whipped cream or ice cream.

* In a deep casserole dish, the batter rises to cover the apples.
