I found this recipe in an old cookbook, Favorite Recipes of Indiana. It makes a very good suppertime dessert – easy and quick to make.
APPLE GOO
- 2 medium tart apples, pared and diced in small pieces (Golden Delicious, Granny Smith)
- ½ to ¾ cup granulated sugar (depending on tartness of apples)
- ½ cup chopped nuts
- ½ cup chopped dates
- 2 Tblsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten
In a medium bowl, combine apples, sugar, nuts and dates. Mix flour with baking powder and salt; blend into apple mixture. Stir in beaten egg.
Place mixture in a greased 8” baking pan.
Bake @ 350 for approximately 30 minutes until apples are done and top is golden brown.
Serve with whipped cream or topping.
Good warm or chilled. 4-6 servings

That looks yummy. I love it when I am given bags of apples from people’s gardens so you can never have enough recipes for apple desserts! 🙂
Perfect timing! I have more than half a box of apples still to make into applesauce or pie slices, and I’m going to get sick of applesauce, at this rate!
This looks so delicious!!!
This looks great! I wonder if I can substitute raisins for the dates since the girls don’t like them or will it be too dry you think? I know your kitchen will be smelling so good this time of year.
I think raisins would work fine in this recipe. Hope you’re having a good day. Lillian
Love this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Boy this looks good! The best part is that it looks pretty easy as well!
Dear Lillian , my name is Maria Tereza and I live in Brazil . This goo recipe .is delicious ! But , what goo means ? I could not find a translation for this word in my portuguese linguage . I enjoy many of your recipes , thanks !
Thank you for visiting my blog and for commenting. I believe they are taking the word “goo” from “gooey” which means sticky.
So nice to hear from you. Lillian
Sounds delicious!! Can’t wait to try it!
I felt in need of some quiet time tonight, so made a mug of tea and sat down to enjoy your September postings. I really appreciate the creativity that you and your daughters share. Their surprise gifts continue to be very imaginative.
I have several of the Lynette Jenkins quilt books–including the one you now own. I’ve found that some of her projects reach their size by way of more borders than I like to add, but her directions are very clear and adaptable to similar projects.
Fall is definitly here, not just by the weather and decorations but all the “fall” recipes and this looks like a keeper.
