Eve’s pudding

I’m not a big maker or consumer of desserts, but this one is simple and delicious - and also great for breakfast!

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups self-raising flour
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons caster sugar
• Juice of one lemon
• 1 cup canola or sunflower oil (not olive oil, the taste is too strong)
• 6 medium Granny Smith apples
• .25 cup currants
• 4 eggs
• 1tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1tsp each ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg
• 60g butter, cubed

Method

1. Peel, core and slice apples
2. Place apple slices in a baking tray or casserole dish and toss in brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and currants
3. Evenly distribute contents in the dish, and add butter cubes evenly
4. Preheat oven to 160º C
5. Break eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk. Add oil and whisk again. Then whisk in vanilla, caster sugar. Finally add the flour, salt and baking powder. Combine with whisk until it is a smooth batter.
