A warm, comforting apple pudding with tender slices of apple and a light batter, perfect for cozy desserts or a family treat, served with ice cream or sweetened apples.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the apples and place them in a pan.
- Sprinkle the apples with nutmeg.
- Pour the batter made from egg, sweet milk, and self-rising flour over the apples.
- Bake at 350°F until the pudding is done.
- Serve warm with ice cream.
- If serving without ice cream, add sugar to the apples to taste.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using Granny Smith apples for a tart flavor or Honeycrisp for sweetness. You can substitute the sweet milk with almond milk for a dairy-free option. If you want a richer taste, adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter can enhance the flavor. Be sure to check the pudding frequently while baking to avoid overcooking, as ovens may vary.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pudding warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of caramel sauce. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a fresh green salad or a light fruit compote. For a comforting twist, enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of apples?
Yes, you can substitute apples with other fruits like pears or peaches. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose. Just ensure the fruit is sliced thinly for even cooking and to allow the batter to envelop the fruit nicely.
How do I know when the pudding is done baking?
The pudding is done when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to prevent overcooking. If the top starts browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and slice the apples in advance. Store the sliced apples in lemon juice to prevent browning. Combine the ingredients and bake the pudding just before serving for the best texture and flavor, ensuring a warm, fresh dessert.
