Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
16g
4 apples
640g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
2 eggs
100g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
40g
1/3 cup self-raising flour
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat while you prepare the pudding.
2. Prepare the apples:
- Peel, core, and slice the 4 apples.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add the sliced apples and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften.
- Once the apples are softened, sprinkle the 1/3 cup of brown sugar over them. Stir well to ensure the apples are evenly coated with the sugar.
- Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sugar has melted and coated the apples in a butterscotch-like sauce. Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the sponge batter:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 2 lightly beaten eggs, 1/3 cup of white sugar, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the 1/3 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour and the 1/3 cup of self-raising flour.
- Gradually fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined. The batter should be smooth and free of lumps.
4. Assemble the pudding:
- Grease a medium-sized ovenproof dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Evenly spread the prepared apples at the bottom of the dish.
- Pour the sponge batter over the apples, spreading it out with a spatula to cover all the apples evenly.
5. Bake: Place the assembled pudding in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the sponge topping is golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
6. Serve: Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. This dessert is delicious on its own or can be served with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of cream or custard.

Tips:

- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced flavor.

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

- For an extra touch, sprinkle some cinnamon on the apples before baking.

- Test the sponge with a toothpick; it should come out clean when the sponge is cooked through.

- Serve immediately after baking for the best texture and flavor.

Your Apple and Butterscotch Sponge Pudding is now ready to serve! This delicious dessert is best enjoyed warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The combination of tender apples, rich butterscotch, and airy sponge cake is sure to please any palate. Enjoy!
