Spiced Apple Pudding

• 4 small-medium apples, peeled, cored and diced (or use canned, see directions)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding (or 2 c. pre-made)
• Cool Whip (optional)

1. If using canned fried apples, omit first four ingredients and skip to step #5. Note: if the sauce in the apples is very runny, use only a couple of tablespoons of it.
2. Preheat oven to 325.
3. In a 9" square baking pan, toss apples with melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until apples are tender but not mushy. When apples are done, chill until cool.
5. Meanwhile, prepare instant pudding according to package directions; chill.
6. In a bowl, layer apples in between two layers of pudding. Top with Cool Whip if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
