Quick Apple Puddings - simple & delicious! Fab Food 4 All

Quick Apple Puddings are budget-friendly puddings that the whole family will love. Sweetened vanilla-infused stewed apples sit beneath layers of crispy cinnamon toast in individual ramekins. Just delicious!

Note: I made these Quick Apple Puddings in the early days of my blog when I didn’t know one end of a camera from the other so decided to re-shoot then.

They are a fab and quick pudding, ideal for autumn! Here’s the original post!

Quick Apple Puddings - simple & delicious! Fab Food 4 All

I bought a supermarket low-fat apple pudding many years ago and enjoyed it both for its taste and its virtuousness. 

I never saw it on the shelves again and thought it was so simple that I could easily re-create it. 

Well, a decade later I decided now was the perfect time to re-invent this pud.

I started with an online search and was surprised that this apple pudding simply didn’t exist.

After a couple of nights, I have now perfected this pudding.

The first batch bubbled over when the bread lids were in one piece and the oven was too hot.  My husband still loved them though so I persevered.

The following night after dinner I  knocked up another couple within 25 minutes; they were perfect this time. 

I cut the bread into quarters, lowered the oven temperature, and reduced the cooking time.

I tried using butter and spread (margarine), and either worked equally well.  

I’m pleased with my Quick Apple Puddings and they can be served with a dollop of crème fraiche or a swirl of cream.

Ingredients

  • 500 g 1 lb Bramley Apples or a mix with dessert apples peeled and sliced
  • 2 – 4 slices white or wholemeal bread depending on size
  • 50 g castor sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 knobs of butter or margarine about 25g/1 oz
  • 4 tsp soft light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Cinnamon for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Place the prepared apple slices into a pan and pour over the lemon juice and 1 tbsp water.
  • Stew under a lid for 4-5 minutes on a moderate heat until soft.
  • While the apples are cooking use a ramekin as a template to cut 4 circles from the sliced bread.
  • Butter the bread circles, dust generously with cinnamon and spread a tsp of brown sugar on each.
  • Cut the circles into quarters.
  • Stir the caster sugar and vanilla extract into the apples once cooked.
  • Divide the stewed apples between 4 ramekins.
  • Then lay the bread quarters over the apples in a circle so that the last quarter is tucked under the first.
  • Place the puddings on a baking tray in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes until the tops go crispy.
  • Let the puddings cool down for at least five minutes before serving as they will be extremely hot inside!
  • Serve with cream if wished.

    Just about to make these as I have so many apples from last years harvest, and it looks a great recipe. I can’t see any reason that I couldn’t make a huge batch of these and freeze them?

      Hi Jenna, I know I answered your query on Facebook but for anyone else I suggested freezing the stewed apple separately (in ice cube trays and then transferring to a Tupperware etc) then either freezing the bread topping separately or making fresh on the day.

    Great idea! I’ve made this several times and we really enjoy it! I added a little bit of cardamon last time and it was a nice addition.

    I am so pleased with this recipe but instead of making small ones ( I do not have any ramekin dishes, or similar) so I adapted and made a large one. Put half the apple you would use for a crumble, into the baking dish. Prepare two or three slices of bread…Cut in half and put butter, brown sugar and cinnamin on each one. Place on top of apple, not overlapping. Cut small bits to fill in gaps. Put dish on baking tray and any prepared slices over, place on baking tray. Cook as recipe but for 25 minutes instaed of 15. When done.. crispy’ the baked bread pieces are to die for while you are waiting for the dessert cool down! So easy, so quick, so scrummy. Thank you!

    Baked as one large apple pud and it was delicious although next time I would probably use thick sliced bread (not the medium slices I used today!)
