Ingredients
  

Pudding Batter:
  • 1 cup 125 g all-purpose flour

Brown Sugar Sauce:
  • ¾ cup 150 g packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup 56 g unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup 180 ml boiling water

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 1½-quart baking dish.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Add milk and vanilla. Stir to form a thick batter.
  4. Fold in diced apples. Spread into prepared dish.
  5. Stir together brown sugar, butter, and boiling water until dissolved.

  7. Bake 40–50 minutes until golden and set on top.
  8. Rest 10 minutes before serving. Spoon sauce from bottom over each portion.

Notes

  • For softer apples, sauté in butter for a few minutes before adding to batter.
  • Dark brown sugar gives a deeper caramel flavor.
  • Best served warm with vanilla ice cream.
  • Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave.
