Today is Pancake Day and we will be eating traditional English pancakes with lemon and sugar for lunch. However, since I already posted my recipe last year (here, with photos here), I thought I’d post my apple pudding recipe today instead… the mixture is basically a pancake batter, with the quantities changed slightly. And the result is just as an apple pudding should be: lightly spiced, barely sweetened, crispy outside and soft inside… and made in a jiffy.
APPLE PUD
Pre-heat oven to 180°C/350°F.
Melt 25g/1oz butter in a small pan, add 2 peeled and sliced apples and 1 to 2 tbsps brown sugar (depending on how sweet your apples are). I also added some cinnamon and vanilla. Cook gently until just starting to soften, then place in an oven-proof dish.
Whisk together 2 eggs, 5 tbsps milk, 2 tbsps sugar and 6 tbsps self-raising flour. Pour batter over apples and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until golden and puffy.
Enjoy as it is, or add cream or crème fraîche. Tastes good cold too! 
Looks a perfect dessert. We’ve been on an apple kick since fall.
I used up all the apples neighbours gave us last autumn, so had to resort to store-bought ones. Still tastes good though!
This is so different…like a cross between a stuffed pancake and pie…yummmmm
Yes, very similar to pancakes, and very yummy.
This is what the phrase “bookmark the permalink” was meant for!!!
Another keeper recipe from you. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Looks really good!!
Tastes a bit like deconstructed apple strudel!
Thanks for stopping by Bernice.
That looks delicious!
You should try it… it only takes a few minutes to prepare.
Oh wow, that looks gorgeous! I’ll definitely make that when my apples are ready later in the year. I miss pancake day today because I’m away with work – how inconvenient!!! Hope you enjoy the day!
Thanks Anna. Perhaps you can have your pancakes a day or so later? Have a good week!
I was wondering what to do with my left over Yorkshire pud mix:)
A good idea!
I can smell it!
It’s the vanilla and cinnamon mix that does it… wafting all the way northwards to you, Uta!
There’s something so homely about apples and spices x I like your explanation of deconstructed strudel
And I think the word “homely” fits perfectly!
Hmmmm…..
