Apple Sponge Pudding is a delightful dessert that combines the comforting flavors of apples with a light, airy sponge cake. This recipe is perfect for cozy family dinners or special occasions. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps, you can create a delicious and heartwarming dish that will impress your guests.
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Add the sliced apples and 2 garlic cloves (finely minced).
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar over the apples.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the apples are slightly softened and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg until light and fluffy.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter (melted), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a dash of salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour, alternating with the milk, until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gently fold the cooked apple mixture into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Grease a baking dish with a little butter.
- Pour the apple and batter mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving.
- You can dust the top with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Tips:
- Ensure you choose apples that are suitable for baking, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, as they hold their shape well and add a nice contrast of flavors.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure the pudding bakes evenly.
- For a smoother consistency, peel the apples before chopping them for the pudding.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing, as this will help it incorporate more easily into the batter.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute whole milk for the 1% milk.
- Test the pudding with a toothpick in the center to check if it's done – it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pudding rest for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven; this allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to serve.
