Equipment

  • A pudding basin, 15cm in diameter and 10cm deep
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 125 g butter
  • 350 g Bramley apples
  • 350 g Cox's apples
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • A little grated lemon zest, to taste
  • 6 - 8 slices white bread about 5mm thick, crusts removed
  • Custard, clotted cream or ice cream to serve

Method

  • Grease a pudding basin, about 15cm in diameter and 10cm deep, with plenty of the butter. Peel, core and finely slice the apples. Rinse in cold water and put them in a saucepan with the sugar, lemon zest and 30g of the butter. Cook to a pulp over a low heat and then beat to a puree with a wooden spoon. Allow to cool. Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C.
  • Melt the remaining butter. Dip each slice of bread into the butter and then line a pudding basin with about three quarters of the slices. Pack them in tightly and don’t leave any gaps. Spoon in the cooled apple puree and cover with the remaining buttered pieces of bread and gently push down.
  • Tightly cover the pudding with foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further eight to 10 minutes until the top is golden brown. Leave the pudding to rest for five minutes before turning out on to a serving plate. Serve with custard, clotted cream or ice cream.
