Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (peeled, cored, and sliced) Apples
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup (packed) Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat and add the sliced apples. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they become tender.
Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and heavy cream, cooking for another 2 minutes until the mixture becomes a caramel-like sauce. Remove from heat and transfer the caramelized apples to the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Carefully pour the hot water over the batter. Do not stir—it helps create a saucy texture as it bakes.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding has set. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of extra caramel sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
