Here is a copy of my original recipe:
Here is a more measured and precise recipe that I can really follow:
6 medium apples (cored, peeled and sliced)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Mix together in bowl. Set aside.
Biscuit dough:
2 cups flour
1 Tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup oil (I use olive oil instead of shortening like the original recipe said)
3/4 cup milk (or 2 Tbs dry milk and 3/4 cup water)
Mix dry ingredients. Add oil and milk: stir with fork just until dough is mixed. Too much handling makes the dough tough.
Put half of the dough into the bottom of a large casserole dish and spread with fingers. Add apple mixture on top. Put the rest of the dough on top of the apples.

Note: If you like a little more "pudding" you can put it in a deep oven proof dish and add 3 cups hot water.
Some of my family likes more, some like less.
This is good served hot with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
I'll have to start making it for this generation and pass it on. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAh, heavenly days!
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny. I was searching on google for "apple floating island pudding" to see if anyone else on Earth had a recipe like this. The first thing I noticed was that the handwriting on the recipe looked familiar, then I realized it was my own grandmother's recipe. I have a big box of apples, it's a cold rainy day, just what we need. Thanks for posting this!
