I added this recipe to my recipe collection many years ago,& never got around to making it until yesterday. Because I had the apples that I needed to use before spoiling. The basic recipe was in a FAVORITE BRAND NAME COOKBOOK. I did make a few minor adjustments, but nothing that would compromise the integrity of the recipe. It was called a pie, but I thought this dessert was more like an Apple Custard or Pudding, & with the minor changes I made hence the given name. I like that it is simple easy & cooks quickly, & easy to prepare, & the ingredients are readily available. We loved it.
