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
  

  • 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.
