Mrs Mac’s Apple Pudding

This simple and comforting dessert combines grated apple with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, creating a moist and flavourful treat. This recipe is from my grandmother’s recipe book.

The recipe offers versatility, suggesting bananas as a substitute for apples to use ripe fruit. Baked to golden perfection, this pudding is a timeless reminder of home baking at its best.
