Sweet to your liking, soft and creamy or crunchy and textured, it is your call to make, easy on your wallet. Enjoy it chilled, warm or at room temperature, what’s there not to like about this simple Fall dessert?!!

Have you missed me? I’ve missed you too… really , all of you, and I’ve missed blogging so much. I hope I am back for good this time i.e no more moving no more selling homes and buying others – which is frankly impossible with a hubby like mine 🙂 but just let’s hope so.

Fall is the most wonderful season in Colorado, colorful trees, crisp air and.. lots and lots of apples. In Egypt though, Fall meant school starting with the smell of guava and raw unripe dates- like the Barhi dates or those red crunchy sweet dates- fill the air, so it is no wonder I did not like Fall back then and I did not share mom her love for guava or red dates :).

Apple is a summer fruit in Egypt not a Fall one so this dessert is usually eaten chilled from the fridge but for our convenience and due to the fact that temperatures started to drop- some days dramatically- here in Colorado, we’ve enjoyed it at room temperature, but between me and you I like it warm or even hot straight from the stove top but watch out for your tongue :).

If you do not like apples you are welcome to substitute any other fruit, my guess is, pears would be the perfect one. In face you can make a multi-layered multi- fruit version of this.. just let your imagination go wild.

Here is a short video on how to make this easy pudding.
