Caramel Apple Pudding

There is nothing like a home made desserts. The sweet smell of cooked apples. Good luck with this one. I found it easier to have everything weighed and ready to go before I started. I made the sauce first, then prepared the dish and apples, and finally the cake batter.

You will need:

5 apples, peeled, cored, sliced 1cm thick

350 grams of plain flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

250g caster sugar

200ml milk

150g unsalted butter, melted

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup brown sugar

½ cup golden syrup

Ice cream or icing sugar and thick cream – serving suggestions.

Putting it all together:

• Place brown sugar, golden syrup and 300ml water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to the boil without stirring.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Lightly butter a baking dish.
• Place apples in the prepared dish.
• Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl of an electric mixer, add caster sugar, milk, butter and egg. Mix until combined.
• Spread mixture over the apples.
• Place brown sugar, golden syrup and 300ml water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to the boil without stirring.
• Pour over the pudding batter, then bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden.
• Dust with icing sugar and serve with cream and or ice-cream.
