In olden days this pudding was cooked in a Dutch oven hanging over an open fire. The name Grunt presumably came from the sound the pudding made as it bubbled and grunted beneath the biscuitlike topping. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter |
1/3 cup tightly packed brown sugar |
2 cups pared cored and sliced fresh apples |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts |
1 egg |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/3 cup milk |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
whipped cream or ice cream |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in an 8-inch Dutch oven.
2. Remove 2 tablespoons of the butter and place in a mixing bowl.
3. Add the brown sugar to the Dutch oven and stir until dissolved.
4. Arrange apples over the brown sugar.
5. Sprinkle with walnuts.
6. Add eggs, granulated sugar, and milk to the bowl with the 2 tablespoons butter.
7. Mix in the salt and baking powder, then add the flour, mixing until smooth.
8. Pour batter over the apples.
9. Just cover it tightly and simmer over low heat for 1 hour.
10. Loosen cake from sides of pan with spatula and invert onto a serving platter.
11. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
