Ingredients:

1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 tart apples, peeled, cored and cut in slices

Instructions:

Place the egg in a saucepan. Add the cornstarch and salt. Dump in the vanilla. Mix together for 1 minute. Place another saucepan over low heat. Add the butter and allow it melt completely. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to the melted butter. Continue cooking over low heat about 30 seconds or until the butter and brown sugar has combined together. Pour in the milk. This will make the brown sugar hard but as the milk cooks the sugar will begin to melt. Cook 2 minutes or until all the brown sugar has dissolve being sure to stir occasionally. Slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture being sure to stir as you add it. Place the egg mixture over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to boil. Immediately remove from the heat. Pour the pudding into a large bowl. If a skim begins to form on top of the pudding sprinkle the top with the 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to stop the skimming. Place the pudding in the refrigerator to cool. When ready to serve spoon the pudding into serving dishes and garnish with the apple slices.
