Apple and Cinnamon Sponge Pudding

"From a mag I took a copy but forgot to note which mag. Times are in accordance with recipe directions. They recommend to use 1 x 800 grams of can pie apples (in place of granny smiths) and microwave on high for 2 minutes, then top with sponge mixture (fruit must be hot when topping with sponge, or sponge will not rise during cooking. Would also add cinnamon to canned apple if not already done so by the manufacturer. Serve with custard or ice-cream. IMPORTANT NOTE - prepare sponge mix while apple is cooking (apple mix needs to be hot)."

  1. Pat - I can't even wait to upload the photos before I post the review! This is a FABULOUS recipe! I'm so enjoying this for an afternoon snack!! I followed your instructions exactly and it all worked out perfectly. I started the eggs once the apple mixture started to boil and everything finished out right on time! Served with frozen vanilla yogurt and I'm set. Now I have to figure out how much I really want to share! Tagged in Newest Zaar Tag and also using photos for the Apple A Day Photo Forum Event for October! This is a HIT and deserves 10 stars ********** !!!!
     
  2. Good winter pudding and really easy to do. Mine was apple and peach and everyone enjoyed it.
     
  3. This was every bit as good as the photos suggest! I followed Paula G's tips and used gluten free flour and baked in a 10 inch cast iron skillet. I used a mix of apples and 2 fresh pears. I cut down on the sugar (1/3 cup) and it tasted great. I didn't have any ice cream on hand so I topped with Greek plain yogurt. Thanks Pat, for posting.<br/>Roxygirl
     
  4. I made this using a combination of apples. The flour was a gluten free all-purpose blend. It turned out perfect. It was served with vanilla ice cream and the dusting sugar omitted. Everyone gave it rave reviews. Thanks Pat for posting.
     
  5. Oh yes! This is a yummy pudding and so easy to make. My husband has scored it a 5 and so do I; definitely a keeper. We had it with custard and as there are just the two of us there are leftovers for tomorow waiting in the fridge, mmmm:-)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
