Apple sponge pudding is a delightful and comforting dessert that combines the tartness of apples with the light, fluffy texture of sponge cake. This recipe is simple to prepare and perfect for any occasion, making it a favorite for family gatherings or a cozy night in. Let's discover how to create this delicious treat with just a few basic ingredients.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly.
- Place the sliced apples in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of water.
- Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, transfer the apples to a greased baking dish and spread them out evenly.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually fold in the self-raising flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the sponge batter over the cooked apples in the baking dish. Spread the batter evenly to cover all the apples.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sponge is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- Choose tart apples like Granny Smith or Bramley for a balanced flavor, as they provide a nice contrast to the sweet sponge.
- Make sure to peel, core, and slice the apples evenly for consistent cooking and texture.
- Beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy to ensure the sponge cake rises well and has a nice airy texture.
- Fold the flour gently into the egg mixture to maintain the lightness of the batter; over-mixing can lead to a dense sponge.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can substitute with regular flour and add 1 tsp of baking powder.
- For an extra flavor twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple mixture.
- Serve the pudding warm for the best texture and flavor, and consider pairing it with custard or ice cream.
Voilà! You've created a scrumptious apple sponge pudding that is sure to be a hit. The tender apples complement the airy sponge perfectly, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. Serve it warm with a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch. Enjoy your homemade dessert!
