SAVE RECIPE
Equipment
- 8cm dariole moulds 6
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4 and grease your pudding moulds with butter
2
In a small bowl, soak the dried apple slices and sultanas in the apple juice for about an hour
3
In a large mixing bowl, preferably with a handheld electric mixer, whisk the eggs with the oil and sugar for a few minutes until frothy
4
Add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon, along with the soaked fruits and juice, and mix well with a wooden spoon
5
Divide the mixture equally between the tins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes until well risen and firm on top and a cake tester or skewer inserted in the centre comes out reasonably clean (you don’t want any wet batter on the skewer but a few moist crumbs are fine)
6
Slide a thin knife around the inner rim of the tins and upturn the puddings onto a plate. Trim the bottoms to level them if you like
7
Make the sauce whilst the puddings are baking. Melt the butter in a shallow pan (a small sauté pan or frying pan), add the apple slices or balls and soften them for a couple of minutes
8
Remove the apple and set aside, add the sugar and cream to the pan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly
9
Serve the puddings with the apple slices or balls on top and the sauce spooned over
