Apple Ginger Pudding Recipes

GINGER & CARAMEL APPLE PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly butter and flour 6 x 8cm deep ramekins, tapping out excess flour. Heat the butter in a pan until foaming, add the apple and cook for 1 min on a medium heat. Toss in the sugar and cook until dissolved. Divide between the ramekins.
• For the puddings, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric whisk until fully combined. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, buttermilk, chopped ginger and ginger syrup, then stir this into the butter mixture. Fold in the flour, ground ginger, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt. Divide between the ramekins so they are filled to 1cm below the top. Place them on a baking tray and bake for 20 mins, until golden and risen.
• Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar. Accompany with cream or custard.

GINGER PUDDING

Steps:

• Using a microplane or grater, grate the ginger and squeeze out the juice through cheesecloth or a fine sieve into a bowl. You need 2 tablespoonfuls of juice. You should see a fine layer of white starch. Put 1 tablespoon of juice into each of two bowls. Heat the milk and sugar to 60-65°C (140-150°F), stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
• Stir the ginger juice, then pour the milk from a height of about 10 cm (4 inches) into the ginger juice. Don't stir and don't move the bowls. Leave for 5-10 minutes to set. Serve warm or chilled.

APPLE-GINGER PUDDING

Steps:

• Butter a six- to eight-cup mold, casserole or baking dish.
• Melt two tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the apples, increase heat to high and saute the apples, turning them frequently for about five minutes until they begin to color. Do not allow them to become soft or lose their shape.
• Add three tablespoons sugar and saute another minute or two, until the sugar begins to caramelize. Stir in the crystalized ginger, remove from heat and transfer the apples and ginger to a bowl.
• Reduce heat to low, add the remaining four tablespoons of butter to the skillet. When the butter has melted, scrape the pan to loosen any bits of caramelized sugar clinging to it. Add the bread cubes and toss them in the butter until they are evenly coated.
• Scatter half the apples and ginger into the baking dish. Cover with half the bread cubes. Repeat the layers.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Lightly beat the eggs and one-half cup of sugar. Scald the milk. Slowly pour the scalded milk in a thin stream into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Stir in the vanilla and ground ginger. Pour over the apples and bread in the baking dish.
• Set the dish in a pan and add boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Place in the middle of the oven and bake 45 minutes, until the top is crusty and golden. Serve while still warm.

GRANNY SMITH APPLES AND GINGER BREAD PUDDING WITH VANILLA BEAN CREME ANGLAISE AND CREME FRAICHE WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

• Whisk together the yolks, granulated sugar and maple syrup in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the hot cream mixture until combined. Remove the vanilla pod and whisk in the apple brandy. Strain the custard into a clean bowl.
• For the apple-ginger caramel sauce: To a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and allow to melt. Next, add the apples, cinnamon sticks and ginger and saute until softened but still hold their shape. Season with salt. Deglaze with the apple brandy and allow to cook until the sauce has become a thick, glazy consistency. Remove the cinnamon sticks. Combine the apple-ginger caramel sauce with the bread.
• For the anglaise: Bring the half-and-half, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean seeds to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
• Whisk together the yolks and granulated sugar in a medium bowl until at the pale ribbon stage.

Strain into a bowl and set over an ice bath. Stir until chilled. Cover with plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving
• To assemble and bake: Place the silicone molds in a roasting pan. Fill the molds with the soaked bread, and then pour the bread pudding custard over the bread, pressing down on the bread to totally submerge it in the custard. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up some of the custard.
• Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and pour in hot tap water until it comes halfway up the sides of the inner roasting pan. Bake until the sides are slightly puffed and the center jiggles slightly, about 45 minutes.
