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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture and stir to combine.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped pecans and diced apple, ensuring the pieces are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

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.
