Easy Baked Apple Pudding
This cozy vegan apple pudding is a cross between apple pie and cake, with tender baked apples on the bottom, a spongey pudding-like layer on top, and a sweet cinnamon-sugar syrup that ties it all together. Easy to make with pantry staples, it’s the perfect fall dessert for cozy weekends or holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Base
- 6 large apples peeled and sliced
- sprinkle cinnamon
- ¼ cup vegan butter melted
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp flax ground
- ½ cup soy milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Place the apples to line the bottom of a 2 ½ quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- To a small bowl, make a flax egg by whisking the water and ground flax together. Let sit a couple minutes.
- Meanwhile, gently mix the remaining Base ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add in the flax egg and stir gently to incorporate. Spoon the mixture evenly over the apples in your casserole dish.
- Now, whisk the brown sugar and flour together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the vegan butter, vanilla, spices and water. It will be watery- this is normal! Once the butter is melted and everything is well incorporated, gently drizzle over the battered apples in the casserole dish. You want the sauce to cover a bit of the batter and also drip down into the apples, so don't worry if it's going all over the dish! Do not stir.
- Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the apples have softened to your liking and the pudding is just firm to the touch.
Notes
A note on apples: The variety of apples you choose will impact the "bite"/texture of the base of this pudding. Some apples, such as Mcintosh and Golden Delicious, bake down rather soft and squishy. Meanwhile, others like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp retain their shape and add more bite. I like to mix softer and firmer apples when making this for my preferred texture profile, but you can adjust to best suit your preferences.
