❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

Ozark pudding is supposed to have been a favorite of President Harry Truman and his wife, Bess, made it for him often.  I don’t know why it is called pudding because it is more like a light, fluffy cake filled with apples and nuts.  I have tweaked the recipe a little and my family loves it with whipped cream or ice cream on top.  If you need a quick dessert that will really go over big with friends and family try this one because it is so good and so easy to make.  If you like cinnamon, apples and nuts, you will love this Ozark pudding cake.  It never lasts long at my house.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

This Ozark Pudding is really easy to put together, so it’s a great dessert for a small group. We made it in a round pie plate, and it’s the perfect size.

Step 1
Cream butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla with a mixer.  In another bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  

Step 2
Add to creamed mixture and mix until all ingredients are wet.  Fold in chopped apples with a spoon.

Step 3
Spray a 9 inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray.  Pour in batter and sprinkle chopped nuts on top. (You can fold nuts into batter if you want)

Step 4
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes testing center to see if done.  Serve with ice cream or whipped cream on top while warm from the oven.
