Tips for the best Apple Pudding
- Do not crowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed so everything browns instead of steaming.
- Use a kitchen scale for the dry ingredients if you have one — baking is less forgiving than cooking.
- Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
Variations
- Swap the egg for silken tofu — keep the cooking time similar and check for doneness.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
- Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
Serving ideas
Dust with icing sugar just before serving and pair with coffee or tea.
