This recipe came from a news paper. The paper also had a little history with it which I have included. Ingredients:
1 pound 2 ounces cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced |
juice of one small lemon |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
1/4 cup superfine sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 egg |
3/4 cup self-rising flour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Lightly grease a 1-quart souffle dish.
3. Layer apples in bottom and sprinkle with lemon juice and granulated sugar.
4. Cream the butter with the sugerfine sugar and vanilla until pale and soft.
5. Beat in the egg, adding a little of the flour to keep the mixture from cudling.
6. Fold in the remaining flour.
7. Spread the mixture lightly over the fruit.
8. Bake 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until the pudding has risen and is set.
9. Adapted from Le Cordon Bleu: Dessert Techniques by Laurent Duchene and Bridget Jones.

13. Not everything in Le Cordon Bleu Dessert Techniques involves hours of effort. Eve's Pudding, a British apple dessert topped with a light sponge cake, is a quick and satisfying end to a meal.
14. It can be eaten warm, at room temperature or chilled.
15. If you don't keep self-rising flour, use this trick, courtestly of the White Lily Flour Co. of Knowxville, Tenn.
16. To 1 cup all-purpose flour, add 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt; mix well with a fork.
17. Or, for the sponge, add 1-1/8 teaspoon baking powder and 3/8 teaspoon of salt to 3/4 cup flour.
18. This is a snap if you have narrow spice-measuring spoons in your batterie de cuisine. These narrow stainless-steel spoons fit into spic jars nicely, and the set of five incluedes 1/8-, 1/4-, 1/2-, 3/4 and 1 teaspoon measures.
19. Special cooking stores and catalogs have them.
20. Eve's Pudding can be made with other fruits, using what is best at the moment.
21. The authors suggest these variations:
22. -
23. Use sliced rhubarb and add 1 tablespoon of ground ginger to the sponge batter with the flour.
24. -
25. Skin and slice peaches; add a few drops of rosewater to the sponge mixture and sprinkle on some flaked almonds before baking.
26. -
27. Try dark, soft fruits such as blackberries and black currants, if you can find them, and all a few drops of lemon oil to the sponge.
