Ingredients

For the Syrup:

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch

  • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter

  • 1 cup water

For the Apples:

  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, chopped

  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

For the Cake Batter:

  • 1 1/3 cups (6 ounces) all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, soft

  • 1/2 cup milk

Steps to Make It

  1. Lightly butter an 8-inch-square baking pan.

  2. Heat the oven to 400 F.

  3. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup brown sugar, the cornstarch, 4 tablespoons of butter, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until thickened. Pour into the prepared baking pan and set aside.

  4. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apples with 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Toss to coat the apple chunks thoroughly. 

  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, 1/3 cup brown sugar, the 4 tablespoons of soft butter, and 1/2 cup milk. Stir until well combined. Add the chopped apples and mix well. Spoon the apple batter mixture evenly over the hot syrup.

  6. Bake for 30 minutes until firm and the syrup is bubbly around the edges.

  7. Using a large spoon or spatula, cut and serve the warm apple pudding on plates with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzling of the syrup.
