To begin I peeled, cored and sliced the apples into chunks.

I sprayed a square baking pan with cooking spray and poured the apples into it. 

I sprinkled some ground cinnamon on top of the apples. 

For the batter I used a large mixing bowl and dumped in the flour, meringue powder, granulated sugar baking powder and salt.

I stirred well to combine the dry ingredients.

Then I added some maple syrup, olive oil, almond milk and a large egg to the dry ingredients.

I used a wooden spoon to stir the wet ingredients into the dry until all were moistened.

When blended I scraped the batter into the baking pan on top of the apples.

Next I combined the boiling water, granulated sugar and cornstarch in a glass measuring cup.

I poured the boiling water mixture carefully over the batter and the apples in the baking pan.

Then I put it in a 350F oven for 45 minutes or until the center of the pudding bounced back when pressed.  

You can also use a toothpick if you only insert it into the cake portion and make sure it comes out clean.

This Apple Pudding is a delicious combination of tender baked apples and a sweet, cake-like topping. It’s an easy apple dessert that feels homemade and comforting without requiring a lot of effort.
