An Apple A Day.....

It is a beautiful fall along the banks of Rock Creek and South Bear Creeks! This year we were blessed with fresh produce from our bountiful gardens and enjoyed gracious gifts from from our neighbors. Apples were especially good this year, and we have enjoyed apple sauce, apple crisp, and apple butter.

Today I made Apple Pudding. I have had this recipe for a long time. It was one of the recipes that one of my cousins shared at my bridal shower back in the day. Over the years I have made it several times. It is super easy and a great way to use apples. It is just a little different from Apple Crisp. Crisp tends to be one of my goto recipes. I included both recipes today.

Here is the Recipe Apple Pudding

Grease an 8 inch cake pan. Peel, core, and slice tart apples to make 3 cups. (3 large or six small). Lay them in the pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon over the apples.  In the mean time cream 4 tablespoons butter with 1/2 cup sugar. Add one egg. Sift together 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda together, stir into butter mix. Drop by teaspoonfuls over the apples. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve with ice-cream or whipped cream.

My Favorite Fruit Crisp Topping

1/3 cup soft butter

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

Combine. Should be rather dry. Spread over fruit that has been sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 1 hour
