Apple Pudding Cake




Source of Recipe


I adapted from a recipe posted by pattyp. at the Cooking Light BB


Recipe Introduction


A very rich, gooey, and delicious apple cake.


List of Ingredients




Cake:
2 medium tart apples -- peeled and chopped (2 to 2 1/2 cups)
1 cup sugar
1 egg -- lightly beaten
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg -- (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon baking soda

Topping:
2/3 cup apple juice or apple cider
2 Tablespoons flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 Tablespoons butter (no substitutes)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix apples and 1 cup sugar in a medium sized bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.

Stir in egg.

Mix dry ingredients in a small bowl and add to apple mixture, stirring until mixed.

Pour into greased 8 inch square pan.

Bake at 350º for 35 to 40 min.

Mix topping ingredients (except for vanilla) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer, while stirring, for about a minute or so. Add vanilla. Pour over hot cake.

Serve warm. Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in microwave.

Notes: Next time I might reduce the sugar even further (to cut more calories) by either slightly reducing the sugar in the cake OR maybe omitting the white sugar in the topping. Oh, and I think I will try apple cider in place of the apple juice next time. I'd like to say it makes 9 servings, but it only made about 6 for us.
