Apple Raisin Nut Dessert

Sorry I missed taking a photo. I made this dessert for Jackie Anderson and Pam Allred's families. They came to dinner Tuesday night. Note: This recipe is not Weight Watchers approved, but it's yummy if you like raisins and nuts. Sorry, Brandan.

Apple Raisin Nut Dessert

2 c. peeled, diced apples
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 t. vanilla
1 c. flour
1 t. soda
1 c. chopped nuts
3/4 c. raisins (I used white)

Lightly oil 8x8 pan. Mix apples and sugar. Let stand until sugar is dissolved (abt 45 minutes, but you can leave this step out if you're in a hurry). Stir in egg and vanilla, mix. Combine the rest, then add to apples. Put in pan and bake @ 350 for 35-40 minutes.

Topping

1 c. water
1/2 c. brown sugar (Tip: Make brown sugar by dribbling a few drops of molasses over white sugar. This saves you from ever having "hard, stale" brown sugar. Check the package of brown sugar for list of ing. if you think this doesn't make sense.)
1/2 c white sugar
2 T. flour
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 c. butter

Mix water, sugar and flour. Cook on medium-low heat til thickened. Add butter and other ing. until butter is melted. Pour over hot cake. Cool a little, then serve w/ whipped topping or ice cream (or both).

excellent blog idea. (everybody eats food.) I put a link on the Hawkley blog, and I bookmarked the rss. I'm looking forward to the food pics/adventures this will probably inspire.
