This Spiced Apple and Cinnamon Pudding is a comforting dessert that brings warmth and nostalgia to any meal. The combination of tender, spiced apples and a fluffy pudding mixture creates a delightful texture and flavor that’s perfect for chilly evenings. The cinnamon adds a cozy aroma, making this dish a perfect centerpiece for your dessert table or a cozy family dinner.
Steamed puddings, like this one, are a traditional British treat that has stood the test of time. They aren’t only pleasing to the palate but also a fun way to explore different flavors and textures. This recipe utilizes simple ingredients and is easy to prepare, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced cooks. Serve it warm with a drizzle of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish.
Ingredients:
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing the apples: peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, toss the diced apples with cinnamon and nutmeg until well coated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This will be the dry mixture for your pudding.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Gradually add this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the spiced apple mixture into the batter, guaranteeing even distribution. Prepare your steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a gentle simmer.
- Pour the batter into a greased pudding basin or heatproof bowl, covering it with parchment paper and then tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in. Place the basin in the steamer and cover with a lid.
- Steam the pudding for about 40 minutes, checking occasionally to verify the water level remains sufficient. The pudding is done when it has risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the pudding from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes. Turn it out onto a serving plate and serve warm, drizzled with cream or topped with ice cream.
Extra Tips:
For added flavor, consider incorporating raisins or chopped nuts into the batter alongside the apples. You can also experiment with different spices like ginger or cardamom for a unique twist. If you don’t have a steamer, a large pot with a lid can work; just verify the pudding basin is elevated above the water level.
Enjoy this comforting dessert as a delightful end to your meal!
