About This Recipe
A comforting and simple baked fruit pudding, usually featuring apples (or other seasonal fruit) topped with a light, cake-like batter. Delicious served warm with custard or cream.
Preparation Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a medium ovenproof dish (approx. 20x20cm).
- In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, 60ml sugar, and ground cinnamon. Spread the apples evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and castor sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, mixing well.
- Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla essence.
- Carefully spoon the batter over the apple layer in the dish, spreading it gently to cover the apples.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the cake part comes out clean.
- Serve warm with custard, ice cream, or cream.
