Don't know about anyone else but after the festive season I always seem to have some fruit in the fruit bowl which is getting a little long in the tooth, I hate to waste food and try wherever possible to use them in some recipe or another. Eves Pudding is a great recipe to have in the arsenal and is delightfully comforting, it smells wonderful when baking and the lemony zesty aroma is a great pick me up. The Eve in the name refers to the fact that apples are used in the recipe.
Ingredients
- 450g or so Apples - peeled, cored and chopped into small chunks (ideally bakers but whatever you have)
- 75g Demerara sugar
- Lemon zest - 1 whole lemon
- 75g Margarine
- 75g Caster sugar
- Egg - free range
- 150g self raising flour
- Milk - about 1tbsp
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180c
- Grease your baking dish
- Place your apples in the dish and sprinkle with the demerara sugar and lemon zest
- Mix your sponge in the normal manner, use the milk to achieve a dropping consistency
- Spoon over your apples and smooth to cover
- Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes until the apples are soft and the sponge is golden
Serve hot, warm or cold, either on its own or with cream, custard or ice cream. Delicious

Simple is best and that's one of my favourite puddings ever, I love it.
Oh yes, I love Eve's pudding - a bit of polenta for extra crunch and some lemon zest - mmmmm!
That's such a pretty dessert. I bet it tastes so good when it's warm out of the oven. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog till Monday night and I'd love it if you'd come by and link your pudding up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/12/sweets-for-saturday-50.html
