Eating or cooking apples for Eve’s pudding?

Traditionally, this dessert is typically made with Eve’s eating apples. However, you can really use any type of apple that you like. More info at the bottom of this post. I had a lot of baking apples to use up, so that’s what I used in this recipe. You may also like Dorset Apple Cake, another way to use up your apples! Or my Apple and Cinnamon Sponge Pudding.

How to make Eve’s pudding

This is a very simple recipe and quick to put together (which I like!) The apples can be sliced or roughly cut into cubes, as I have done. I used an apple corer to make the process easier. Use your discarded apple peel and cores to make apple jelly!

  • STEP 1: Grease the oven-proof dish and arrange the apples on the bottom. Sprinkle over the brown sugar and the lemon zest, and juice.
  • STEP 2: Put the baking spread, sugar, eggs, flour, and baking powder in a large bowl and beat until smooth. Spoon on top of the apples, and level out with the back of a tablespoon.
  • STEP 3: Bake in a preheated oven at 160ยฐcfan/180ยฐc/Gas 4 for 45 minutes until it is golden and springy to the touch. Serve hot with custard or cream!

Variations

Spiced Eve’s Pudding

As an alternative, you can have a spiced Eve’s pudding. Add 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon to the sponge topping, and for the apple mixture, add 60g of raisins, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of ground mixed spice.

If you love hot puddings, try my Sticky Toffee Pudding, Pineapple Upside-Down Pudding, Apple and Cinnamon Pudding or Apple Amber. It’s so good!

    I did not have any spread the first time I made it, so I used butter instead.
