Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon (to grease the baking dish) Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (or walnuts)
- 1 cup Diced peeled apple (such as Granny Smith)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a shallow 8x8-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and large egg until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can be done by hand or with a hand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually sift this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans and diced apple, ensuring the pieces are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges have set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean).
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 5–10 minutes before serving. It is best enjoyed warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
