Equipment
- 20cm round pudding dish
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter 40 grams - softened
- 4 tablespoons caster sugar 60 grams
- 1 egg
- 6 tablespoons self raising flour 90 grams
- pinch of salt
For the Stewed Apples
- 4 medium granny smith apples peeled, cored and chopped into quarters
- 1 tablespoon of caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190 degrees and lightly grease a 20cm round oven proof dish.
- Slice the apples into quarters and place them into a medium saucepan and fill with water until they are almost covered. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon and heaped tablespoon of caster sugar to the water. Cook over a medium heat for approximately 6 - 8 minutes or until the apples have softened.
- Retain 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid before draining the rest and set aside until needed.
- Place the softened butter, 4 tablespoons of caster sugar and the retained liquid from the apples into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until well combined.
- Add the egg and mix well to combine before adding the self raising flour and a pinch of salt.
- Place the stewed apples over the base of the baking dish and spoon the cake mixture over the top.
- Place the pudding into the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the cake has cooked through when tested with a skewer.
- Carefully remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Thermomix Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190 degrees and lightly grease a 20cm round oven proof dish.
- Add 200 grams of water to your Thermomix bowl and add the apple quarters, cinnamon and caster sugar. Cook for 10 minutes, varoma temperature, speed 1 on REVERSE.
- Retain 2 tablespoons (40 grams) of the cooking liquid before draining the rest and set aside until needed. I find it easiest to pour the apples in the basket and let the fluid drain.
- Place the softened butter, caster sugar and the retained liquid from the apples into the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 seconds, speed 4.
- Add the egg, self raising flour and a pinch of salt and mix for 10 seconds, speed 3 to combine.
- Scrape down the sides of your Thermomix bowl and mix for a further 5 seconds, speed 4 to combine.
- Place the stewed apples over the base of the baking dish and spoon the cake mixture over the top.
- Place the pudding into the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the cake has cooked through when tested with a skewer.
- Carefully remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
