Apple Pudding in a Jar
It took a me a while to join the latest food craze ” Food in Jars”. Seeing all the pretty cakes, pies or puddings in the jars made me want to try them myself. I couldn’t hold back any longer.
There are hundreds of recipes you can use to make a dessert in a jar. Almost any dessert or a no dessert, too, can be prepared into a jar.
Having made a no bake Apple Pudding Cake many times I wanted to see if it would work in the jar, too. And it did. Apple pudding is very easy to prepare and is a favorite with kids and adults. It is a snack and a dessert in one. It can be made into a fancy dessert with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

Nilla Wafers into the 1/2 pint jars, set
aside. - In a medium
size sauce pan cook grated apples, cinnamon and sugar on low heat. Cook until
apples are very soft but not mushy. Taste, if desired add more sugar. - While
apples are cooking combine water and
corn starch in a small cup. Add corn starch mixture into the apples and stir,
continue cooking. Mixture will thicken significantly. Bring the mixture to boil and cook, stirring
constantly for one minute. Remove from the heat and layer apple pudding mixture
into the prepared jars, alternating apples with more Nilla wafers, until you
have a full jar. Close the jars, using a lid and a ring. - Chill in the fridge.
These make a great snack and a dessert in one. -
