Here's another recipe clipped from a newspaper a handful of years ago, & great for those of us who like puddings! Preparation time does not include the time for the crust to cool to room temperature. (Recipe edited in Apr 08 to slightly increase the crust ingredients!)

I like to change this dessert up by substituting the chocolate pudding with butterscotch or banana pudding. Use your imagination.

APPLE MYSTERY DESSERT

This is called a "mystery" because it's difficult to decide whether it's a cake, pudding, or pie. I happen to love all three, so it's no mystery why I love this comfort food. One bonus is that the cake part does not contain any butter/shortening, so have another piece!
