Apple Sponge Pudding
Stewed apples topped with sponge
A light dessert, this pudding is tasty, filling, and won't break the budget. The fruit used was canned apple slices; but also fresh fruit can be cored sliced and stewed. Other fruit such as peaches, apricots or plums can be substituted.
110g margarine or table spread
110g caster sugar
2 eggs
175g self raising flour
410g can of sliced apples
In a bowl, cream together the fat and sugar with a wooden spoon or plastic spatula until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating in each well until the mixture is smooth. Finally, gently fold in the flour to combine well.
Put the apples in a deep baking or casserole dish, then spoon on the sponge mix evenly.
Bake on 162°C fan-forced (180°C conventional) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and the top starts to crack slightly. Test to ensure the sponge is cooked through by lightly pressing the top - if it springs back it's ready.
Serves 4-6 with custard, ice cream, or both okay to freeze
TIP: Apples can sometimes seem a bit bland. Add extra flavour by mixing them with a spoonful of your favourite jam, or sprinkle with cinnamon and toss in a handful of sultanas.
