OZARK PUDDING

    (This recipe came from my mother, who received it from her friend Elsie Mahla. Elsie passed through my mother's life a decade before I was born, so I know little about her. But one of the things, luckily, is this very simple recipe for what ends up being an apple cake.)

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2-3/4 C sugar
  • 1/2 C flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 C diced apples (diced small; usually 1 apple is enough)
  • 1/2 C chopped walnuts
  • Beat egg.
  • Add everything else.
  • Put in greased pie tin.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
