Coffee with the Chicken Ladies

This Baked Apple Pudding is super easy and tastes way better than you would guess. It goes into the oven with 3 simple layers and comes out as a deliciously spiced cakey-apple dessert. It is amazing with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. You only need one fresh egg for this recipe.

Baked Apple Pudding

This is a simple to make dessert with a delicious, sophisticated taste. You can peel your apples for this recipe if you wish. We chose not to. Any sweet/tart apple will do here, and pears would also work very well. This recipe is easy to convert to gluten and dairy free, and we’ve included our substitutions.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 2 apples peeled (if desired, we didn’t,) cored, and cut into small chunks (sweet/tart apples work best here)
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoons cardamom
• A generous pinch of cloves
• 1 cup flour or gluten free flour
• 2 tablespoons of buckwheat flour optional, but delicious
• A pinch of sea salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk or dairy free milk or creamer
• 1/3 cup butter or dairy free butter
• Brown sugar for sprinkling on top

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Melt butter in a 2 quart casserole dish. (We just popped it into the microwave. Don’t do this if you have a metal pan! Either put the pan in the oven to heat it up, or microwave the butter in a bowl and pour it in.)
3. Combine sugar, flours, salt, spices, baking powder, milk and egg to make a batter.
4. Pour the batter overtop of the butter in the baking dish.
5. Put apples in the center of the batter and just spread them out a little bit. Sprinkle with brown sugar if desired.
6. Bake until the batter has covered the apples and the pudding has browned, about 35-40 minutes.
