45 Huguenots,Protestant French Immigrants arrived in the Carolina Colony on April 30,1680 from London.King Charles II subsidized the expedition to establish a new British colony with crops and industry that the French had a monopoly on.They called the settlement " Charles Town".
South Carolina's most famous dessert is supposed to be made with Hazelnuts but they were not available to the Huguenots,so they used Pecans instead.it is like a pecan pie without the crust or also like an apple crisp.
Over the years it moved west to Missouri and since they had no pecans they used black walnuts instead.they call it "Ozark Pudding".this dessert was Harry S.Truman's favorite.here is the recipe:
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tsb baking powder
1/4 tsb salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 cup peeled and chopped granny smith apples
Whipped cream
Toast pecans in oven 20-30 minutes at 275°
Preheat oven to 325°,butter 9x13 baking dish.
In a large bowl,beat eggs until frothy and lemon colored.add sugar,vanilla,lemon juice,flour,nutmeg,baking powder, and salt;stir well until combined.fold in 1 cup of toasted pecans and apples.
Pour batter into baking dish.Bake 30-35 mins. Or until top is brown and crusty.serve warm or at room temperature.
To serve scoop into serving bowl with the crust on top-top with whipped cream and chopped pecans.

I'll definitely have to give this a try. Maybe I'll make it instead of pecan pie next time. Thanks for sharing!
