*Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples are the perfect choice for this yummy pudding.

Preheat oven to 350 F. On sheet of wax paper or a paper plate sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

Using electric mixer on high speed, in small mixing bowl beat together egg and sugar until mixture is thick and lemon colored; beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture and, using mixer on low speed, beat until throughly combined, about 1 minute. Stir in apples and pecans.

Spray 8-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray; spread apple mixture evenly in pie plate and bake for 20 to 25 minutes (until a toothpick, inserted in center, comes out clean)

Serving Suggestion: Top each portion of pudding with one tablespoon thawed frozen dairy whipped topping.
