Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish or an equivalently sized baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and thinly sliced apples. Spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another smaller bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps.
Carefully spread the batter over the apples in the baking dish, using a spatula to evenly distribute it.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
