Sliced Apples with Cinnamon Pudding

Brought to you by FoodFit

This recipe serves: 8
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes


1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
1 cup low-fat milk
granulated sugar (optional)
8 tart apples (Granny Smith or other variety)

In a 1 or 2-quart stainless-steel saucepan, whisk the egg, cornstarch,
salt and vanilla together for 2 minutes. Set aside. Melt the butter in
another saucepan. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook over low heat
until the butter and sugar blend together. Add the milk and heat until the
sugar dissolves. (The sugar will get hard when the milk is added; it will
melt again as the milk heats.) Whisk a few tablespoons of the hot milk
mixture into the egg mixture. Gradually whisk in the rest of the milk
mixture. Over medium heat, whisk the combined mixture constantly until it
comes to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat. Pour into a bowl. (If
you don't want a skin to form on the top of the pudding, sprinkle it
lightly with granulated sugar.) Refrigerate. Cover with plastic wrap when
cool. Place 1 sliced apple into each of 8 serving bowls. Top with a few
tablespoons of pudding.
