An Apple A Day . . .

Dear Readers,

It’s September and apples are arriving daily at the Farmers’ Market.  They look so delicious – there are so many varieties to choose from.  Here’s an apple dessert that I’ve been preparing since I was a newlywed and that’s 39 years ago!  It’s easy and tastes fantastic warmed up and sitting beside a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Virginia Apple Pudding

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup sifted flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

2 cups peeled, raw apple slices

Melt butter in an 8 or 9 inch square casserole pan.  Sift dry ingredients together and add milk to make a batter.  Pour over melted butter in casserole.  Pile apple slices in center of batter.  Bake in a 375 degree oven until batter covers fruit and crust browns – 30 to 40 minutes.  Serve warm, plain or with vanilla ice cream.  Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Enjoy and remember:  an apple a day keeps the doctor away!  But I’m not sure if that counts for desserts!!!  Oh well.

Keep smilin’!
