Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Pecans or walnuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the egg until frothy using a whisk or fork. Add the sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry spots remain. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped apple and nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Ozark Pudding is best served warm, either plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
