Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 teaspoon butter
6 tart apples (about 2 pounds)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 eggs
1 cup homogenized milk
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 pint heavy cream

Steps:

  • Butter a baking dish (2-quart). Peel and core the apples and place them in the dish. Fill the wholes with brown sugar, pressing slightly, and sprinkle half the nutmeg on top. Place in preheated 350 ° F oven to start baking while you prepare the batter.
  • Separate the eggs, putting the yolks into a larger bowl and the whites onto a platter. Beat whites with a fork or whisk until they no longer slip from the tilted platter. Beat the yolks until they change color; stir in maple flavoring and milk. In smaller bowl mix flour, cream or tartar, baking powder, salt, and any remaining brown sugar. Stir this mixture quickly into the liquid. Fold the egg whites into this thin batter.
  • Pour the batter evenly over and around the partly cooked apples and return dish to the oven, baking it until the crust has browned, another 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • While the pudding bakes, stir the powdered sugar and remaining nutmeg into a pitcher of heavy cream. Take the finished pudding directly to the table before it falls, and turn each serving onto a plate so the apple is nested in the fluffy crust. Pour sweetened cream over them.

Bird's-Nest Pudding Pie image

We like to think of this dessert as the turducken of pies -- spiced, cranberry-stuffed apples are baked in a pie shell, surrounded by cake batter. It's inspired by the bird's-nest pudding in Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic "Farmer Boy."

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 disk Test Kitchen's Favorite Deep-Dish Pate Brisee
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
3/4 cup fresh or thawed frozen cranberries
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 small McIntosh apples (2 pounds)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces, plus 2 tablespoons, melted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg, separated, plus 1 large egg white
1/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut out a 13-inch round. Fit into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze 15 minutes.
  • Blind-bake crust: Line chilled crust with parchment and then foil, pressing into corners to hold up sides. Fill with baking beans or rice. Bake until sides are set and beginning to turn golden, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove paper and beans from crust and continue baking until bottom crust is golden brown and dry, about 10 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, stir together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cranberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Peel apples; scoop out cores from stem ends with a melon baller or a sharp-tipped spoon, leaving bottom ends intact. Fill hollows with 1 heaping tablespoon cranberry mixture, pressing down to fit as much in as possible and mounding slightly over tops. Transfer to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Dot with room-temperature butter. Thirty-five minutes before crust is done, place in oven and bake 25 minutes, turning apples halfway through so sides facing edge of dish face in. Cover with foil and bake until apples are just barely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 5 to 10 minutes more. Toss remaining 1/4 cup cranberries with juices in bottom of dish.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolk with remaining 1/2 cup sugar until combined. Whisk in flour mixture, then melted butter and milk. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into batter.
  • Pour batter into warm crust. Nestle apples into batter, spooning cranberries and 2 tablespoons of juices from dish over top. Return to oven; bake until pie is puffed and beginning to turn golden on edges, and springs back when pressed in center, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool at least 45 minutes. Serve warm, with ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pudding will be.
  • Use a food processor or blender to get a smooth texture: If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher, but it will take longer to get a smooth consistency.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add all sorts of things to your Crow's Nest Pudding, such as chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or even peanut butter.
  • Chill your pudding before serving: This will help it to set and make it more refreshing.
  • Serve your pudding with your favorite toppings: Whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit are all great options.

Conclusion:

Crow's Nest Pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, sweet banana flavor, and variety of optional mix-ins, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give Crow's Nest Pudding a try! Happy cooking!
