How to make Apple Sponge Pudding - Dessert Recipe
By oliversmum
Apple Sponge Pudding/Dessert Recipe.
If you and your family like Apple Pie but you feel like you need a change but still want to use up all of your apples, this Apple Sponge Pudding Recipe is a good alternative.
It is very easy to make, economical, healthy and tastes delicious, with a variety of toppings that you can use such as Ice Cream or Cinnamon, or just leave it plain, the choice is yours.
Ingredients for Base of Apple Sponge Pudding/Dessert.
4 x Granny Smith (green) Apples
1 x Teaspoon Grated Lemon Rind
1/2 a cup of sugar ( white or raw)
4 x tablespoons of cold water.
Few Whole Cloves ( 6 to 8).
Ingredients For Topping of the Apple Sponge Pudding/Dessert.
2 x Eggs
1/2 a Teaspoon of Vanilla Essence
1/2 a cup of Self Raising Flour (sifted)
1/4 of a cup of Castor Sugar.
Pinch of Salt ( I use Sea-salt).
1 Tablespoon of Castor Sugar extra.
Method For Base.
Peel Apples, core and then slice fairly thin.
Combine the apples in a saucepan with sugar, water, lemon rind and cloves.
Cover the saucepan with lid and cook gently until Apples are tender.
Then place this mixture into a greased pie dish (approximately 6 cup size).
Remove all of the cloves.
Method for Topping.
Beat the two Eggs and Vanilla with Electric Beater
until thick and creamy.
Add the Castor Sugar gradually, beating until dissolved.
Then fold in sifted Self Raising Flour and Salt.
Spoon Topping over hot Apples, sprinkle with extra Sugar.
Bake in a moderate oven 180-185 degrees C (this will depend on each individuals oven) for 30 to 35 minutes.
Note: Make sure that you add the sugar a little at a time and fold the self raising flour in, otherwise the crust may go a little hard and not rise as it should.
You may also choose to use another type of cooking apple. Granny Smith is my personal choice.
Serving Suggestions for Apple Sponge Pudding/Dessert.
A couple of serving suggestions. We have tried them all and they are all nice.
Hot Vanilla Custard ( home made). Fresh pure cream. Yoghourt plain or flavored. Ice Cream any flavor.
Most of the ingredients I use in my cooking are Australian grown and produced. So maybe some of the names you will not be familiar with, if this is the case let me know, I will endeavor to sort it out. A lot are straight from a Farm, no nasties on or in them.
I hope you like this Apple Sponge Pudding/Dessert Recipe. It does warm the cockles of your heart on a cold day. :) :)

Zsuzsy Bee Hi. This Recipe is rather nice. I hope you and your Crafting Friends like it as much as we do.
Sounds like you are in for a great weekend and also that you can get most of your project's finished, It should be a lot of fun.
Christmas is not too far away, it sort of creeps up on you.
Thanks for your great comments, they are always very much appreciated.
We are all fine, hope it's the same your end.
Thanks again and Happy Crafting. :) :)
Great recipe, wrote it down, a must try. Thank you.
Hello,hello, Hi. That's great.
It is a nice Pudding. Hope you like it when you get time to make one.
Thank you for your comment, it is always nice to hear from you. :) :)
Hi oliversmum,
Apple sponge was one of my mother's standards when I was growing up. Delicious. I too, recommend this dish!
Jane Bovary. Hi.
it was the same in our Family, having Apple Trees in our garden, it was a regular pudding on our table.
It is nice, you could also make it with Pears if you prefer, that also tastes good.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and your recommendation, It was very much appreciated. :) :)
hi are your cup measures American ones? I've already cooked the apples so will have to guesstimate the quantity for those.
Quite excited at trying something different to apple crumble (and the crumble bit never quite works). I have a lot of cooked apple in the freezer to use up so nice to have a different receipe.
jacks, Hi . In all of my recipes I use the Metric cup (250ml).
I did not realize that the Cup sizes were different until I did some research.
For your convenience I have put the conversion rates that I found in my research below:
Conversion for 1 Cup in my recipes =
Metric 1 cup = 250ml,
US and British = 1¼ cups,(one and one quarter)
Imperial = 8 fl oz
Thank you for your great comment and I hope you enjoy this apple sponge pudding :) :)
thank you for your reply. I made it (two nights running!) using your cup quantities but with a USA/UK cup measure it was still tasty and volume difference only really affected the ingredients relationship with the egg. It did end up with a hard top despite adding the sugar and flour a bit at a time and sieving the flour but I still count it as a success - thanks.
Sounds good, must try this dish.
Tiffany Latte. Hi. It is nice, with the flavor of the cloves giving it a great taste.
Thank you for your nice comment. :) :)
An apple a day . . . Sounds delicious. Thanks for the pictures too.
Truckstop Sally. Hi. Keeps the Doctor away.
It does have a lovely flavor, topped with ice cream,home made custard,pure cream, what ever you choose, it's nice.
You are most welcome. I believe the photo's give you an idea of whatever you are making looks like.
Thanks so much for your great comment. :) :)
Always looking for recipes that do not require cow milk (or ones that I can easily use a substitution). This looks wonderful.
Also liked seeing pics of your Australian products. Adds a lot to the hub! :) Voted up.
RTalloni. Hi. Would goat's milk be a good substitute for cow's milk in any recipe that requires milk.
This apple sponge pudding is very tasty, especially with the flavor of cloves going through it.
I love to see the ingredients used in any recipe.
Thank you so much for your great comment and voting it up.
Reading your baking hubs make me very hungry! This looks like another tasty recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Rose Kolowinski. Hi. Sweets and biscuit recipes also have that effect on me.
This recipe has a great flavor,and Granny smith apples are my favorite when making anything that requires apples.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. :) :)
OMG this sounds so awesome and easy to make! I love ALL apple desserts. I'll give it a try for sure. Bookmarked and voted up! :)
Om Paramapoonya. Hi. It is rather nice,especially on a cold winter's day, and being so easy to prepare, makes it even better.

Oh yes folks I can vouch for this one. That serving you see in the picture was mine and now it's gone. Yummy.
I love my Apple Pie but this Apple sponge pudding has less pastry and helps keep the waist line down. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it lol
Oliversmum you have done it again with this great Hub.
Voted up :-)
