Apple sponge Eve’s pudding is believed to date back to the 17th century, and it gets its name from the Eve apples that were commonly used in the dish.
While Eve’s pudding is typically made with baking apples, any type of apple can be used. So, whether you’re looking for a way to use up some extra baking apples or you simply want a delicious dessert, Eve’s pudding is a perfect choice.
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!
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.
