SPICED APPLE PUDDING



Spiced Apple Pudding image

This is actual pudding, not a bread pudding or cake. It's super easy to make and tastes fabulous! It's also adaptable based on how much time you have - make the pudding from scratch or use instant, low-fat, sugar-free or regular . . . whatever floats your boat. Use store-bought or instant pudding and canned fried apples for the ultimate super-quick dessert without turning on the stove. Nutritional information and prep time is based on the recipe as written (homemade apples and regular instant vanilla pudding).

Tips:

  • Prep the Apples Properly: Peel and core the apples to ensure a smooth texture in your sponge cake.
