My Mother used to make this for Sunday lunch to lessen the blow of having to go back to boarding school! Preheat your oven to 180˚C. Whisk the eggs and the sugar together until pale in colour. Heat the milk and add the butter, heat until the butter has melted and gradually add to the egg mixture.
Sift the flour and baking powder over the batter whisking well to form a smooth batter of dropping consistency. Pour the mixture into one large or 6 individual ramekins and carefully place the pie apples on top. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden and firm.
To make the sauce, boil all ingredients together in a saucepan for 10 minutes until syrupy and the sugar has melted. Using a fork or skewer, prick the apple pudding all over and then pour the syrup over the hot pie. The idea is for the syrup to drizzle all the way into the pudding.
Serves: 6
Tip: Serve with homemade vanilla ice-cream. (See recipe mailer # 2).
