A comforting and simple dessert featuring tender, cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a golden, buttery crust. Drizzled with caramel sauce and served warm, it's the ultimate crowd-pleasing treat.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6). Peel, core, and chop the Braeburn apples into bite-sized chunks.
Place the apple chunks in a frying pan (use an ovenproof one if available) along with 50g of the light brown sugar, the ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the apples just begin to soften.
If your pan is not ovenproof, transfer the apples to a baking dish. Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the fruit layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the plain flour, baking powder, and the remaining 125g of light brown sugar. Scatter this dry mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
Pour the melted butter over the flour mixture, ensuring it soaks into all the dry pockets of flour to create a uniform topping.
Bake in the center of the oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Let the pudding rest for 5–10 minutes before serving with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
For a tarter flavor profile, you can substitute half of the Braeburn apples with Granny Smith apples. If you want extra crunch, sprinkle a handful of flaked almonds or chopped pecans over the flour mixture before pouring on the melted butter.
