Stewed Apple Pudding

Here is a quick winter warmer that has all the comfort and familiarity needed in one dessert. Delicious sweet apples nestled in pudding.  

Stewed Apple Pudding

--------------------------------------------

Serves 8

6-8 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

4 oz. caster sugar

2 oz butter

2 tablespoons water

1 egg

1/2 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

pinch of salt

2 tablespoons of milk

grated rind of 1 lemon

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Cook the apple slices in water until just soft.

Place in a buttered oven proof pie dish and sprinkle with a bit of sugar.

Cream the butter and sugar together and add the beaten egg.

Then combine the flour and milk with the baking soda and lemon rind. Mix well and spread over the slices of apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Serve. 

Notes: I stewed the apple in Earl Grey tea which gave them a bit more flavour. It is as simple as adding 2 tea bags to the water that stews the apples.


Have a great weekend everyone! - JD
