Salted Caramel Apple Pudding Recipes

CARAMEL APPLE SPONGE PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
• Butter a large glass or ceramic baking dish approx 32cm x 23cm x 5cm (12" x 9" x 2").
• Peel, core and slice apples 1cm (approx 1/2") thick.
• Pile apples into the baking dish, adding more apple if necessary to generously cover the bottom of the dish.
• Sift flour, baking powder and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
• Make a well in the centre and add milk, butter and eggs and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes pale and the beaters leave a trail.
• Spoon batter evenly over the apples and smooth out with the back of a large spoon.
• Combine brown sugar, golden syrup and water in a small saucepan.
• Stir over medium heat until the mixture has become liquid and the brown sugar has melted.
• Stop stirring and allow mixture to come to the boil.
• Remove immediately from heat and pour evenly over the batter.
• Place dish on the centre shelf of the preheated 180°C (350°F) oven.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
• Dust lightly with icing sugar to serve and serve with thick cream.

SALTED CARAMEL & APPLE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 30 x 20 x 4cm baking dish. Put the eggs, extra yolks, sugar, milk, cream, 200g of the caramel, the vanilla and a large pinch of sea salt in a large bowl, then whisk until combined. Stir in the flour until the batter is smooth.
• Halve, core and cut the apples into 1cm slices - there's no need to peel them. Arrange in the baking dish and pour over the batter. Bake for 30-35 mins until the batter is set in the centre, golden and slightly risen.
• Drizzle over the remaining caramel, then sprinkle with a little extra sea salt. Leave to rest for 5-10 mins (it will deflate a little). Serve warm with vanilla or peanut butter ice cream, if you like.

CARAMEL APPLE PUDDING

Steps:

• Make the caramel apples: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the liquid is reduced but saucy with the consistency of chunky applesauce, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, make the whipped cream: In a large bowl, using a large whisk or an electric mixer, whisk the cream, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt until soft peaks form. (When you lift the whisk out of the bowl and turn it whisk-side up, a peak of cream should flop over onto itself.) Don't overbeat; you're looking for a soft-set whipped cream that drapes rather than plops.
• Assemble the pudding: In a medium bowl or other serving vessel (preferably clear), arrange one-third of the vanilla wafers at the bottom, top with half of the caramel apples, then spread with half of the whipped cream. Repeat these layers once more and end with a final sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers on top. (If you want crunch, save this final sprinkle for right before serving.) Cover and refrigerate until the cookies are soft, about 8 hours and up to 24 hours.

CARAMEL APPLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, brown sugar, egg substitute, vanilla and cinnamon. Fold in bread cubes and apple; let stand for 15 minutes or until bread is softened. , Pour into an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped topping and caramel topping. Refrigerate leftovers.
