Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease a 2-litre/3½-pint ovenproof dish lightly with butter. Tip the flour, sugar and baking powder, along with a pinch of salt, into a large bowl. Mix together the milk, butter, egg and vanilla extract and stir into the dry ingredients until you get a smooth batter. Arrange the apples in the dish, spoon the batter on top and smooth with a knife until the apples are covered.

  • step 2

    For the topping, pour 250ml boiling water over the sugar and stir together until smooth. Pour the liquid over the pudding mixture, then scatter over the pecans. Bake for about 40 mins until the pudding has risen and is golden. Use a big spoon to serve the pudding, making sure you get some of the gooey caramel sauce covering the bottom of the dish. Serve with pouring cream, warm custard or vanilla ice cream.

question

Can you make this is advance? I’ve made this recipe before and it was delicious, but I need to make it 6+ hours in advance. Does anyone know if it can be made and then kept in the fridge before cooking?

Hello, you can bake the pudding and then reheat it gently in the oven before serving. The sponge is likely to absorb some of the toffee sauce as it sits so it won't be as sticky as it would be when cooked fresh, but it will still work. Thank you for your question - Best wishes, Good Food Team

Took at least another 20 minutes. I have a gas oven too so consistent heat. Think you have the measurement for baking soda wrong, could really taste it. Sugar mix sinks to the bottom and not gooey at all as it has to be cooked longer. Followed this to exacts as well. Really disappointed and your…

Made this tonight turned out to be completely horrendous borderline inedible. the pudding was so incredibly wet so we gave it another 10 minutes then another 10 minutes.... it ended up being in the oven for nearly double the time recommended and largely tasted of baking powder ( was a whole table…

Excellent, but given that the sugar mix sinks straight down to the apples, why not just pour over the apples, then add the batter?
