One of my favourite things during the fall months are apple desserts. Who doesn’t like a quick and easy sweet treat made of these wonderful and healthy fruits! This Apple Caramel Pudding is easy, quick and is made with mostly unrefined ingredients. The perfect weekend breakfast or warm and cozy afternoon snack for kids and adults!
What kind of recipe is this
This apple pudding contains nuts, coconut flour and lots of spices. It is very rich due to the butter and the milk which help the pudding to get a nice caramel sauce during the baking. This is one of the easiest recipes that you can prepare at home with just few apples.
Is this pudding healthy
Using coconut sugar instead of refined sugar makes this apple pudding a much better dessert choice from health perspective. Most of the ingredients in this pudding are unrefined, however the recipe calls for some all-purpose flour. If you want to substitute it, try with almond flour (for a gluten-free version) or whole grain spelt or einkorn flour: they are all excellent healthy choices.
Recipe tips
- Making this Apple Caramel Pudding is almost as easy as a cobbler or a dump cake. However there are few tips to follow in order to have the best experience:
- The sauce on the top is meant to remain even after the pudding is baked. Therefore you need to make sure there is enough sauce still in the baking dish, before removing it from the oven. Don’t let all the sauce evaporate!
- This dessert is best consumed warm. You can heat the leftovers in a microwave or in the oven. Consider adding some milk or water on top, before reheating it to preserve the moisture.
- Store the pudding refrigerated for 2-3 days.
This is a very cozy and delicious recipe, a really tasty comfort food! I would be very happy if you let me know in the comments what you think about it. If you made it, please share how it went!
