In the Fall I absolutely love going to Apple Hill to pick apples. In case you aren’t familiar, Apple Hill is made up of many farms, each with different things to offer. Some have crafts for sale, fudge, apple butter, pies, petting zoos, and a variety of other things. Some of the farms allow you to pick your own apples, and others just have them for sale. This is the time I get to taste a variety of apples that aren’t sold in our stores. It’s fun to do a side-by-side taste comparison of the different flavors. Over the years, we have picked a couple of farms as being our favorites, and we make sure to visit them year after year.
We usually go to Apple Hill as a family, and every time we go, we taste so many yummy treats. Because of all of the delicious apples that are so readily available, and all of the inspiration from the baked goods, I usually come home inspired.
While I haven’t had the opportunity to visit Apple Hill for the year (yet), I am already thinking up ways to use up the apples I will be getting. Besides, this time of year is usually when you can get apples at a great price. I’m thinking of you!
In flipping through a church cookbook, I spotted a recipe for Apple Pudding. It sounded so interesting, and more like a bread pudding with a buttery sauce, so I just had to give it a try! Here is also a pudding to die for with the use of these Land O Lakes® Cocoa Classics® Cocoa Mix!

Just made this, looks delish, but it took an extra 30 minutes for a toothpick to come out clean. Hope it’s as good as it looks!
Baking times can always vary depending on altitude. I hope you enjoyed it!!

THIS SOUNDS NICE I WILL TRY IT. I ALSO LOVE THE DETAILED STORY U WROTE ABOUT YOURSELF IT GREAT.
Thank you Maria!
going to Apple Hill in a couple of weeks ! Can’t wait to make this !
Oh how I love Apple Hill! I’ve got to make it out this year because I’ve missed a couple. I love to go to Kids Inc. and get their walk-in apple pie with hot caramel sauce. Yum!
Do you pour the butter cream over the entire cake or just individually on each piece ??? I’m thinking of poking whol8and putting it over the whole cake
Hi Jessica, I personally add the sauce to individual pieces, just for more flavor and people can choose how much they want. You can definitely try doing it poke-cake style. Let me know how you like it!
So, what type of apples did you use for this recipe? It doesnt say. . . . . . .
You can use any apple you’d like, but I always use green – Granny Smith are great for baking.
Turned out great!! Many compliments. I had to bake this for 60 minutes to get it to set. Since I was taking it to a potluck I could not do the sauce there. I turned it into a poke cake and poured the sauce into the cake and all over it. That worked out great and everyone loved it. Next time I probably will add a little Rum or Bourbon to the sauce just for flavor since the alcohol will cook out.
What size is a 2quart? Would a 9 X 13 be the right size baking dish?
Hi Trudy, You’ll want to use something more like an 8×8 or 9×9 dish.
Do you use plain flour really self rising in this recipe
I typically use regular flour and not self rising.
Hi- do you need to serve the cake warm from the oven? Does the sauce also need to be served warm?
The sauce serves and pours best when warm. You can eat this all cold of course, but I prefer it warm.
Ok i have to know where is apple hill farm? Sounds like a wonderful place to go and see.
Apple Hill is located in Placerville, CA. It’s heavenly!!
Do you peel the apples before you grate them?
No peeling necessary, Shevawn! You can if you want to, of course.
Can I use a sugar substitute ?
I imagine you could give it a try, Van. As with all baking, sugar substitutes don’t always yield the best results. Think of it like a homemade cake, and whether or not a sugar substitute works with that. Best of luck!
I can’t wait to make this! It looks delicious. Thank you for the recipe!
This is a nice recipe, thank you for the detailed recipe.
