Ingredients

Apples

  • 500 grams / 1 pound cooking apples peeled, cored and finely cubed
  • 50 grams / ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 5 grams / 1 tablespoon lemon zest finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Sponge cake

  • 100 grams / 3.5 ounces tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 60 grams / ⅓ cup caster/superfine sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 120 grams / ¾ cup plain flour

Instructions

Apples

  • Preheat your oven to 180C/350F.
  • Place the apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, zest and ground cinnamon into your baking dish and stir together until well coated. Set aside.

Sponge cake

  • Place the butter and sugar into a bowl and combine on medium with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.
  • Add one egg and beat until well combined, repeat with the remaining egg.
  • Toss in the flour and baking powder and combine on the lowest setting until combined and no dry portions remain in the base or edges of your bowl.
  • Spoon over your apples and smooth out evenly.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until the topping is a deep golden brown.
  • Remove and allow to cool.
  • Sprinkle confectioner's/icing sugar over the top.
  • Serve warm with a little warm custard drizzled over.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Sweetness of your apples: The sweetness of the plainer cooking apples will come through, not making an overly sweet dish, so if you prefer this being sweet, than I recommend using half cooking or baking apples (such as Granny Smith) and subbing the remaining half with Honeycrisp or Braeburn.
  • The top of the sponge: The crust of the sponge will be slightly crisper, so do not be surprised by this when you push your spoon in once it is served, but the center is very much a sponge texture that you know and love.
  • Serving your pudding: The pudding will also serve well with a drizzle of cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream, though the warm custard accompanies best.
