Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large cooking apples (about 500g/1lb2oz in total)
1 tbsp lemon juice
20g/¾oz butter
2 tbsp caster sugar
75g/3oz butter
100g/3½oz caster sugar
100g/3½oz self-raising flour
2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp boiling water
cream or custard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
  • Peel, core and roughly chop the apples. Add the apples to a saucepan with the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water. Stir, cover and cook briskly for five minutes until the apples are soft.
  • Add the butter and caster sugar and stir. Then transfer to a 900ml/1½ pint capacity ceramic gratin dish, about 5cm/2in deep. Leave to cool while you prepare the topping.
  • For the topping, cream together the butter and caster sugar until fluffy and light.
  • Fold the flour and egg in alternate spoonfuls into the sugar mixture until blended, being careful to keep folding rather than stirring energetically - this will keep air in the mixture and fold in. Add a spoonful of boiling water to the mix.
  • Spoon the mixture over the apples. Cook in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is puffy and golden. Serve with cream or custard.
