Baked Apple Almond Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 large granny smith apple
- 25 gm brown sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 40 gm butter
- 55 gm caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp almond essence
- 55 gm ground almonds
Instructions
- Peel, core and slice the apples. Place them in a saucepan and add brown sugar, cinnamon and 1 tbsp water. Cook on low heat until apples turn soft.
- Grease a small baking dish with butter. Arrange the apple slices on the bottom of the baking dish. Preheat oven to 180 °C | 350 °F.
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy. Then add almond essence, egg and beat well.
- Gently fold in the ground almonds. Spread this mixture evenly over the apples. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and springs back when touched.
Notes
- You can use any variety of apple for this pudding, but I recommend using slightly tart or sour apples.
- Check after 20 minutes to see if the pudding is done. If the top has browned, cover with a foil and bake.
