Eve's Pudding (Mum Style)
Serves 4-5
You can reduce the amount of sugar added when making the stewed apples if you don't have a sweet tooth.
Ingredients
For the stewed apples:
3 Large cooking apples
75g of sugar
For the topping:
100g soft margarine
75g caster sugar
2 eggs
125g self raising flour, sifted
Method
- Peel and core the cooking apples and cut into small pieces
- Place in a large micowavable dish with the sugar
- Cook on high for about 8 mins, stir and apples should breakdown and look like mashed up apples. This is stewed apple! Leave to cool until cold
- Make the topping by creaming together the margarine and the caster sugar with an electric hand mixer.
- When the mixture is soft and fluffy, add the eggs one at a time and mixing well before you add the second egg
- Add the flour gradually, mixing gently with a large metal spoon
- Grease a fairly large ovenproof dish with margarine and put the apple mixture in the bottom of it.
- Slowly spoon on the cake mixture making sure that all of the apple is covered with the mixture
- Cook in a moderate oven at 150C (Gas Mark 4) for about 40 minutes
- When ready, it should be golden brown and when you put a knife blade into the centre of the pudding it should come out without any cake mixture attached (there may be apple, but that’s ok)
- Serve with hot custard
