    Bird's Nest Pudding


    Source of Recipe


    Hel

    Recipe Introduction


    The name of this pudding (really more like a pie) comes from the serving appearance--the apples are nestled in a bowl created by the crust.

    List of Ingredients




    Bird's Nest Pudding from Hel


    5 Granny Smith apples, cored and peeled and sliced thinly
    1 tsp. cinnamon
    1/4 tsp. nutmeg
    1 egg
    3 Tbsp. brown sugar
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 cup milk
    2 cups flour (I use a half and half mixture of wheat and white flours--all wheat yields a tough crust)
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1 Tbsp. baking powder
    1 tsp butter
    1/2 cup sugar (for topping)

    Recipe





    Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a deep pie dish (lightly grease the rim of the dish as well). Toss apple slices with cinnamon and nutmeg and arrange in the dish. Blend together the egg, sugar, salt, milk, flour, cream, and baking powder until it begins to form a dough. Do not over mix! Shape the dough into a crust and mold it over the top of the pie dish to cover. Bake at for 25 minutes.

    To serve, invert the dish over a platter. Dot the apples with butter and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Serve with heavy cream sprinkled with nutmeg. Just the thing for contemplating a warm fire or a cozy night of music!
