Grandma’s Apple Dessert

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)). Grease an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish with butter or shortening.

2. 2

   Beat the egg in a mixing bowl until blended. Add the sugar and vanilla, and stir until the mixture is combined.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, combine the sifted flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly so the leavening and salt are evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Combine the wet mixture with the dry mixture and blend well until a uniform batter forms. Do not leave dry pockets of flour.

5. 5

   Add the chopped tart apples and broken walnut meats. Stir gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. 6

   Transfer the batter to the greased baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

7. 7

   Bake at 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)) for about 30 minutes, until the dessert is set and lightly browned and a tester inserted into the batter comes out without wet batter.
