How to Make Easy Sticky Toffee Apple And Cognac Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. In a food processor, combine 200g pitted dates, 50g walnuts or pecans, 1 large apple (cored and roughly chopped), 100ml golden syrup (or maple syrup/honey), and 2 tbsp cognac. Pulse until coarsely chopped and mixed.
  3. Add 100g softened butter, 2 large eggs, and 100g granulated sugar. Pulse until well combined.
  4. Add 100g self-raising flour and 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda. Pulse until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Grease and flour a 1.5-litre pudding basin.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared basin, smooth the top, and bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out almost clean.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the toffee sauce: In a saucepan, combine 75g golden syrup, 75g granulated sugar, and 50ml water. Bring to a rapid boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens into a caramel color (about 10-15 minutes).
  8. To serve, carefully turn the pudding out onto a serving plate. Top with extra walnuts or pecans and generously pour the warm toffee sauce over the pudding.
  9. Place the pudding briefly under a broiler to lightly caramelize the sauce.
  10. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream, crème fraîche, or chantilly cream.
  11. To freeze: Prepare the pudding ahead of time and freeze in an airtight container for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw completely and microwave for 8-10 minutes on medium power.
