Apple Pudding With Vanilla Sauce

This is an old time recipe and was in my aunt's cookbook from her Church. Kathryn Esham submitted the recipe. There isn't anything like it here on RecipeZaar. My husband enjoys this. I think the sauce is almost like my grandmother's that I so loved. I hope you will try this one.
