IDAHO APPLE PUDDING

Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to shortening mixture and stir well. Add chopped apples. Batter will be stiff. Pour into a greased loaf pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with the whipped topping. Dee-licious!
