Title: Bird's Nest Pudding
Categories: Puddings
Yield: 6 Servings

1/2 ts Butter
2 lb Tart apples (6);
- Granny Smith are good
1 c Brown sugar
1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
3 Eggs
1 c Milk
1 ts Maple flavoring
1 c Flour
1 ts Cream of tartar
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Powdered sugar
1 pt Heavy cream

Butter the baking dish. Peel and core the apples and place them in the
dish. Fill the holes with brown sugar, pressing slightly, and
sprinkle half the nutmeg on top. Place in preheated 350?F oven to
start baking while you prepare the batter.

Separate the eggs, putting the yolks in the larger bowl and whites on
the platter. Beat whites with a fork or whisk until they are no
longer slipping from the tilted platter. Beat the yolks until they
change color; stir in milk and maple flavoring. In a smaller bowl,
mix flour, cream of tartar, baking powder, salt, and any remaining
brown sugar. Stir this mixture quickly into the liquid. Fold the egg
whites into this thin batter.

Pour the batter evenly over and around the partly-cooked apples and
return dish to the oven, baking until the crust is browned,
45 minutes to 1 hour.

While the pudding bakes, stir powdered sugar and remaining nutmeg
into a pitcher of heavy cream. Take the finished pudding directly to
the table before it "falls" and turn each serving onto a plate so the
apple is nested in the "fluffy crust". Pass the pitcher of sweetened
cream.
