Warming Apple Pudding -serves 8
125g margarine or butter
350g soft brown
sugar 6 eggs - separated
100g plain white flour 2 tbsp milk 300g apples – peeled and chopped into small pieces
Spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice and ground cloves to taste
Preheat oven to 180C.
In a medium size bowl cream the butter and 300g of the sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg yolks, flour, milk and apples and mix in well. Add some spices if you want to. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until they form stiff peaks. Add the remaining 50g sugar and whisk until glossy. Fold the apple mixture into the egg whites carefully, and only just enough to incorporate them fully together.
Pour into a greased oven proof dish (I use a large pyrex bowl 20cm diameter, 10cm deep) and place in a bain marie. Bake in the pre-heated oven for between 30 and 60 minutes. It is cooked when the top layer is firm. The bottom layer is meant to be soft and gooey a bit like lemon curd but made with apples.
It is delicious warm with some cream, but is equally tasty served cold.
