A warm, comforting dessert featuring tender apples baked beneath a light, fluffy Yorkshire pudding batter, infused with cinnamon and caramelized brown sugar for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the melted butter in the pan.
- Arrange sliced apples over the sugar and butter mixture.
- Sift together flour and salt in a bowl.
- Beat eggs until light; add flour mixture and 1/2 cup of milk, then beat until well blended.
- Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of milk and beat until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly over the apples in the pan.
- Bake at 450°F for 25 to 30 minutes until puffed and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter batter, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before beating, which helps incorporate air. You can substitute half of the milk with a non-dairy option like almond milk for a vegan version or use a No Cholesterol Egg Substitute if you're looking for a cholesterol-friendly option. Adding a pinch of nutmeg can enhance the flavor profile, complementing the cinnamon nicely.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Apple Yorkshire Pudding warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup for added sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, making it a delightful dessert. Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad for a light balance or as part of a brunch spread featuring Vegetarian recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the Yorkshire pudding in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, allowing it to regain some of its original puffiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of apples for this recipe?
Yes, you can use various apple varieties. Tart apples like Granny Smith add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the brown sugar, while sweeter apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp will create a more dessert-like flavor. Just make sure to adjust the sugar slightly if using sweeter apples.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum. This will help maintain the batter's structure and texture. Additionally, ensure that all other ingredients you use are certified gluten-free.
What can I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, gradually add a bit more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. The batter should be pourable but not overly runny. This ensures that it spreads evenly over the apples and puffs up nicely during baking.
