Apple Date Pudding

Total Cooktime: 3-4 hours


What you will need:

* 4-5 apples, peeled, cored and diced
* 3/4 cup sugar, or less, to taste
* 1/2 cup chopped dates
* 1/2 cup toasted, chopped pecans
* 2 tbs. flour
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1/8 tsp. salt
* 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
* 2 tbs. melted butter
* 1 egg, beaten

Here's a tip:  If you dread peeling, coring and slicing apples like I used to you may be interested in an Hand Crank Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer . This brilliant kitchen tool has saved me countless hours peeling apples by hand!

In the slow cooker, place apples, sugar, dates and pecans; stir. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and stir into apple mixture. Drizzle melted butter over batter and stir. Stir in egg. Set cooker on low and cook for 3 to 4 hours. Serve warm.

If your family prefers crispier nuts, add toasted pecans instead at the end of the cooking period. You can serve this with ice cream or whipped cream.

Diabeticly Friendly Version:  If you want to make this recipe a little more diabetically friendly you could substitute the following:

• Choose Splenda over sugar
• Choose Egg Beaters over a whole egg
• Choose margarine instead of butter

I would love to hear your experiences with this recipe including anything you have done to alter it to suit your family's tastes!

Enjoy!
