APPLE PUDDING DESSERT
This has got to be one of my non-chocolate all time favorite fall desserts! We look forward to fall JUST for this dessert! It is "to die for"...maybe literally - since it is anything but low fat and as Paula Dean would say - "You start with a stick of butter..."

1 cup + 2 tablespoons butter, melted - you thought I was joking!
2 cups sugar
4 large apples, peeled and cubed
2 eggs
2 cups flour (measure level cups)
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg (grind it fresh if you can)
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Batter will be thick. Pour into a 9 X 13 baking dish covered with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Sauce
1 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup brown sugar
1 Tbs vanilla

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan on the stove. Cook over medium heat, bring to a boil and stirring constantly until it becomes thickened. Serve warm sauce over warm pudding slices. Yummmmmm!!!
