Richard asked me to make this for his birthday today. We have this recipe from his mother. It is comforting, warm, old-fashioned, and full of butter and spice. Delicious.
Baked Apple Pudding
- 1/2 cube butter, softened (1/4 cup)
- 1 c sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 c unsifted flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 c grated, unpared apples
- raisins, nuts as desired (These are no-no’s at our house.)
Mix and bake in an 8-inch square pan for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with butter sauce. The result will be a dark brown, moist cake.
Butter Sauce
- 1/2 c butter
- 1 c sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 8-12 oz can of evaporated milk
- Sprinkle of nutmeg
Blend together in a saucepan. Warm but do not boil. Spoon butter sauce over cake and serve warm.
A few weeks ago, Richard came home unexpectedly early from work and I sang him this song. Minus the first few seconds, this song is awesome.
