Among other things, I'm going to make an Apple-Cranberry Pudding. It is tasty and not too sweet.
Here is the recipe:
Apple Cranberry Pudding

1. Preheat oven to 350* F.
2.Peel, quarter, core, and slice apples
3. Put them in a sauce pan with the brown sugar, cinnamon, cranberries, and apple juice bring to a boil and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
4.Pour this mixture into a greased ovenproof dish, 3 inches deep, 9 inch diameter9 the dish needs to be deep to avoid fruit bubbling out during baking.)
5.Cream the butter until light and fluffy
6.Add the beaten eggs a little at the time and incorporate them well before adding more egg.
7. Fold in the ground almond.
8.Spoon the almond cake mix on top of the appl0cranberry mixture in the dish and even it out a little bit.

Here is another tasty, fairly simple dessert that I enjoy.
Chocolate Hazelnut Pots
Ingredients:
2 Eggs 2 Egg Yolks
1 TBS Superfine Sugar 1 tsp. Cornstarch
2 ? cups Milk 3 ounces Dark Chocolate
4 TBS Chocolate &
Hazelnut spread (Nutella)
To Decorate:
Grated Chocolate or large chocolate curls
Whipped Cream
1. - Beat together eggs, egg yolks, superfine sugar, and
cornstarch until thoroughly combined. Heat milk until
almost boiling.
2. - Gradually pour the milk into the eggs, beating as you
do so. Melt the chocolate and hazelnut spread in a
double boiler, then beat the melted chocolate mixture
into the eggs.
3. - Pour into 6 small ovenproof dishes and cover the dishes
with foil. Place them in a roasting pan. Fill the pan
with boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the
dishes.
4. - Bake in a preheated oven at 325* F for 35-40 minutes,
until the custard is just set. Remove from the pan and
cool, then chill until required. Serve decorate with
grated chocolate or chocolate curls, with or without a
dollop of whipped cream.
Cook’s Tips:
The foil lid prevents a skin from forming on the
surface of the custards.
This dish is traditionally made in little pots
called pots de crème, which are individual
ovenproof dishes with a lid. Custard pots are
fine. The dessert can also be made in one large
dish; cook for 1 hour or until set.
(Editor’s Note: This is a quick and tasty desert. If in a hurry, 20-30 minutes in the freezer chills them enough to serve. LMH)

Refrigerate until serving time. Should be at least 8 hours for refrigerator time, remove about 1/2 hour to 1 hour before serving, remove ring from springform pan, decorate to choice and get out your fork!
