Applie Pudding
Don't like to make piecrust? Try this easy, crustless, delicious apple pudding.. Ingredients
2-1/2 cups apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup melted butter or margarine
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)
1 cup bisquick
1 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pinch salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 9-inch pie pan with butter or margarine. Fill 2/3 of pie pan with sliced apples. (Do not overfill or will overflow pan.) Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon and 1 teaspoon sugar. In medium bowl mix the 1 cup sugar and melted butter. Stir in nuts, flour, egg and salt. Mix well. Spread over apples. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 65 minutes or until top is brown and apples are tender. Slice into 6-8 servings. Delicious served warm with ice cream or whipped topping.
This is the original recipe. I've played with it and came up with the following variations:
Substitue one can of cherry pie filling (or other pie filling) for the apples - eliminate the cinnamon and the 1tsp. of sugar. If using canned filling, reduce the cooking time by about 1/2 hour or until topping is browned.
Today I had a few bananas that were getting really ripe. I also had strawberries that needed to be used.
I mashed the bananas and placed them in the bottom of the pan. Then covered the bananas with sliced strawberries.
I made the topping with:
3/4 cup melted butter or margarine
1 cup bisquick
1 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pinch salt
and baked at 350degrees for 40 minutes (ovens vary, so use your own judgement)
This can be served warm or cold.
Enjoy!
