Topped with velvety whipped cream infused with vanilla, each serving feels like a decadent yet homely indulgence. Ready in under an hour, this easy-to-make dessert is perfect for impressing guests or enjoying as a comforting family favorite. Danish Apple Pudding is best served chilled or at room temperature, making it a versatile dish for any occasion.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a medium-sized saucepan.
Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water to the saucepan with the apples. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and slightly broken down (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir well to coat them in the butter.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the breadcrumbs. Cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and caramelized (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and cool slightly.
In a large serving bowl or individual dessert glasses, layer the apple mixture and the caramelized breadcrumbs. Start with a layer of apples, then breadcrumbs, and repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with breadcrumbs on top.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Serve the Danish Apple Pudding chilled or at room temperature, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
