Apple Pudding

This recipe is a terrific recipe for the Fall because of the apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Although it is called a pudding, it really is a cake. It is especially delicious when topped with a bit of whipped cream. I finely chopped the apples. A courser chopped apple would also be good for this recipe. 

When I make desserts, I sometimes do not include nuts, but this time I included the nuts. The walnuts added a nice crunch to this cake. I used a 9x9 pan, which resulted in thin cake. Other pans could easily be used for different sized cakes. Next time, I might make this using a muffin pan.
