Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

And for Dessert - Best Ever Apple Pudding

Here's another recipe that I used to make for special occasions. I doubled the recipe for a 9x13 pan, but I did not double the sauce - no need, it makes plenty.

BEST EVER APPLE PUDDING
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup soft butter
1 egg
2 large unpeeled apples, shredded (2 cups)
1 cup sifted flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Gradually add sugar to butter, creaming well. Add egg & beat hard. Shred apples medium fine, add at once to creamed mixture. Stir in sifted dry ingredients, add walnuts. Bake in greased 8" or 9" square pan at 350°F (moderate) about 45 minutes. Cut in squares. Serve hot with Best Ever Pudding Sauce, whipped cream or caramel sauce. Makes 8 or 9 servings. (Good re-heated.)
Best Ever Pudding Sauce
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light cream
1½ tsp. vanilla
Dash nutmeg
Heat butter, sugar & cream together over very low heat 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until blended & slightly thickened. Don't let sauce boil. Add vanilla & nutmeg. Serve hot on hot pudding or plain cake. Makes 1½ cups.

    This is a childhood favorite of mine! Thank you for posting.
    What a wonderful way to keep memories of your mother alive. I think what you're doing is beautiful.
