How to Make Caramel Apple Sponge Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Grease and flour a large (32cm x 23cm x 5cm) glass or ceramic baking dish.
  3. Peel, core, and slice 1kg of apples into 1cm thick slices.
  4. Arrange apple slices in the prepared baking dish, ensuring the bottom is generously covered.
  5. In a large bowl, sift together 200g all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 150g caster sugar.
  6. Create a well in the centre and add 150ml milk, 50g melted unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, and the batter leaves a trail on the beaters.
  7. Evenly spoon the batter over the apples, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
  8. In a small saucepan, combine 100g brown sugar, 50ml golden syrup, and 2 tbsp water.
  9. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes liquid.
  10. Bring to a boil without stirring, then immediately remove from heat.
  11. Carefully pour the caramel sauce evenly over the batter.
  12. Place the baking dish on the centre shelf of the preheated oven.
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  14. Let cool slightly before dusting with icing sugar and serving with thick cream or vanilla ice cream.
