Gail's Ozark Pudding
This is the original
recipe frequently made by Bess
Truman for her husband, former President Hary
Truman. I have found variations of this on the
internet, so you might
want to experiment (eg. less
sugar, more flour, more
apples, lower oven
temp).
1 egg
2/3 cup sugar
2 T flour
1 and 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup apples (or more), peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 tsp. vanilla
Whipped cream topping or ice cream
Preheat oven
to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch pie pan or an 8x8-inch baking dish. Beat the egg and the sugar together until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Blend well. Fold in the apples, nuts and vanilla. Pour into the prepared dish and place on cookie sheet in
oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven; the pudding will fall, but it's supposed to. Spoon into
dessert dishes and serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Serves 4. Try the new flavored Cool Whip like
French Vanila.
