Toffee Apple Pudding

This is a really amazing, simple dish for those with a serious sweet tooth! Another dish you can play with- scatter some berries on top of the apples to add some colour if you wish! It's blackberry season so I've added a handful of them into this recipe.


Serves 4-5.

Ingredients:

2 Bramley apples, sliced thinly.
A handful of blackberries or other berries (optional)
150g self raising flour
200g butter
150g caster sugar
2 eggs
200g light brown sugar

For the toffee sauce:

150g light brown sugar
200ml double cream
60g butter

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/ gas mark 4.
2. Line a medium sized deep oven proof dish (8'x8' ish) with the apple slices and whatever other fruit you're using. Sprinkle over the brown sugar and dot 50g of the butter on top. Now pour about 100ml water over the apples- this will help them to cook and leave you with a delicious gooey sauce underneath the pudding.
3. To make the pudding topping, whisk together the eggs, flour, sugar and butter for about 5 minutes until creamy looking and lump-free. If you wish, you could add a little cinnamon into the mixture too at this point. Now gently spoon this on top of the apples and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the sponge mix springs back up when you poke it.
4. Whilst the pudding is baking, start on the toffee sauce. Place all remaining ingredients in a saucepan and whisk until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
5. Serve and enjoy!
