Ingredients
  • 4 1/2 cup Baking apples,
Directions
  1. 1
    Peel, core, and slice the baking apples.
  2. 2
    Place the sliced apples in a saucepan with 1 1/2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.

    Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Drain well, reserving the cooking liquid if desired for extra flavor, and let the apples cool slightly.

  5. 5
    Stir gently until the pudding mix is fully incorporated and the mixture begins to thicken.
  6. 6
    Spoon the apple-pudding mixture into a 9" baked pastry shell.
  7. 7
    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set and firm.

Note

Ensure you use "Cook & Serve" vanilla pudding mix, not instant, as the cooking process helps set the texture properly with the gelatin.

For a vegan version, use margarine instead of butter and ensure your pudding mix and Jello are plant-based (standard gelatin is not vegan; use agar-agar or vegan gelatin alternatives if strict veganism is required, though the tags suggest this might be a standard recipe labeled incorrectly or using specific vegan brands).

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for up to 3 days.

If the filling seems too loose after an hour, refrigerate longer. The gelatin needs time to set fully.
