Indulge in the warm, comforting flavors of these Cinnamon Apple Puddings—an irresistible dessert perfect for cozy nights. This recipe combines tender bites of cinnamon-spiced apples with a moist, golden cake that magically bakes atop a rich, caramel-like sauce formed during cooking. With a quick and easy 15-minute prep time, these puddings are made with everyday ingredients like all-purpose flour, melted butter, and diced apples, enhanced with a touch of ground cinnamon and vanilla for an aromatic boost. The unique addition of boiling water creates the luscious sauce layer beneath the cake, making every spoonful irresistibly gooey and satisfying. Serve these single-serve ramekin desserts warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for a truly decadent treat that feels both homely and indulgent. Perfect for fall gatherings or a cozy dessert any time of year!
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease six 8-ounce ramekins or an equivalent-sized baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning, then fold the apples gently into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins or pour it into the baking dish.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the batter, dividing it equally over each ramekin if using individual servings. Do not stir; the water will form a layer on top.
Place the ramekins or baking dish on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly. The pudding will form a soft, sauce-like base beneath the cake-like top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
