Autumn Apple Pudding Cake

As an additional option, rather than making a cake, you can make into small loaves  (skip the pudding sauce and whipped cream).  And as a side note, this recipe halves well. 

 

2 cups sugar
½ cup soft margarine
2 eggs
4 large unpeeled apples, shredded (use food processor)
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped nuts

 

Cream sugar, margarine, eggs and apples. Add dry ingredients and nuts. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes in a greased 9 X 13 baking dish.

 

Pudding Sauce
1 /2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup half & half

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

Cook until slightly thick and sugar is dissolved (approximately 8-10 min). Cool a little then add vanilla.  Top cake w/ whipped cream and pudding sauce
