Swiss Apple Pie

This is what we are eating right now. This is orchard country. Apples are abundant. This dessert has almost no fat, though a fair amount of sugar. The walnuts are heaven. Don't leave them out. Even if you are like me and hate walnuts. This is different, I swear. It sounds bland. I was tempted to add at least some cinnamon. Don't. It is magic food.

Swiss Apple Pie (straight from the U.U. Cookbook, p 179)

1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chopped apples
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Beat the egg. Add the sugar gradually until it is smooth. Fold in flour, salt, b.powder, and vanilla. Fold in chopped apples (chunks, not slices) and walnuts.
Pam spray a pie plate. (glass works great.) Spread mixture out in plated.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Best warm.
Good cold.
Heck of a breakfast.

I made this tonight, and it was awesome. Even Alex liked it...and he strongly dislikes cooked apples. I also won him over in the name of zucchini tonight. It's been a big day for produce.
