Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Living in the Deep South means EVERYONE has a Banana Pudding (aka Nanner Puddin') recipe in their repertoire, and I have mine. And, it is pretty good, even though I'm a Damn Yankee! But, that inspired me to create another "cookie" filled pudding. Apples and ginger are a great match. So why not marry ginger snaps and apple pie filling? I think you and your family will enjoy this incredibly easy and delicious dessert. It will make a great addition to your next picnic or potluck!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you're not an expert baker and need to bring a fall-inspired dessert somewhere, try this apple pie pudding. It's a sweet and decadent no-bake dessert. The flavors from the layers of pudding with apple pie filling mixed in and ginger snaps have the flavor of apple pie without the work. It did remind us of an apple pie twist on banana pudding. This will be a star on any dessert table.
