Apple and ginger pudding

A gently spiced apple pudding I like to make on Sundays

  • Serves5
  • 1hr 20mins
  • 170°C/fan 150°C/gas mark 3

Emily's Option

If you haven't any cooking apples you can replace them with eating apples and leave out the sugar used to sprinkle over them in step 3.

Ingredients

  • 400g cooking apples
  • 1 tbsp sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 65g golden syrup
  • 40g margarine
  • 40g light brown sugar
  • 110g GF plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 tbsp milk

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 170°C/fan 150°C/gas mark 3

2 Put the syrup, brown sugar and margarine into a saucepan and place over a low heat until the margarine has melted. Stir to mix together and leave to cool slightly while you prepare the apples.

3 Peel, core and slice the apples and place in an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle over the sugar.

4 Sieve the GF flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger into a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre.

5 Beat the egg and the milk together. Now gradually mix together with the dry ingredients.

6 Now add the liquid ingredients from the saucepan and mix well to form a smooth batter.

7 Spoon the ginger mixture over the apples. Place the dish on a baking sheet. Bake in the centre of the oven for an hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the pudding comes out clean.

8 Serve warm with ice-cream or custard.
