    Steamed apple and salted caramel puddings

    Serves: 6
    Cooking Time: 1 hr

    Ingredients

    • Salted caramel

    • 150g (¾ cup) sugar
    • 50ml water
    • 50g salted butter
    • 50ml fresh cream
    • 10ml (2 tsp) sea salt flakes
    • Pudding

    • 100g salted butter
    • 100g (½ cup) sugar
    • 3 eggs
    • 200g cake flour
    • 10ml (2 tsp) baking powder
    • 150ml milk
    • 2 apples, cubed

    Instructions

    1

    To make the caramel, heat the sugar and water in a pan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the  heat and boil until the sugar reaches a light amber colour.

    2

    Stir in the butter and cream, simmer for 2 minutes and add the sea salt flakes. Set aside.

    3

    To make the pudding, cream together the butter and sugar.

    4

    Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

    5

    Sift in the flour and baking powder, and mix well. Stir in the milk.

    6

    Grease 6 small ramekins and add a spoonful of the salted caramel. Divide the chopped apples between the ramekins then top with the batter.

    7

    Cover the puddings with baking paper and then with foil, ensuring that no liquid can get into the ramekins.

    8

    Place the ramekins in a large pot and pour in water. The water needs to reach halfway up the side of the ramekins.

    9

    Steam over a gentle heat until the puddings are cooked through, about 45 minutes. Remove from the water and allow to cool slightly before turning out.

    Serve with extra salted caramel.
