Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Golden caster sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 150 grams Self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Cooking apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 1.5-liter pudding dish with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and golden caster sugar until light and fluffy.
Gradually add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift the self-raising flour and ground cinnamon over the mixture, then gently fold it in with a spatula until just combined.
Arrange the sliced apples in the bottom of the prepared pudding dish in an even layer.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and a smooth caramel sauce forms. Remove from heat.
Pour half of the caramel sauce over the apples in the dish.
Dollop the sponge batter over the apples and caramel, then gently spread it out to cover the fruit completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the sponge is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Reheat the remaining caramel sauce on the stovetop or in the microwave just before serving.
Serve the warm pudding with a drizzle of the reserved caramel sauce and, if desired, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
