    ✔️ Why you'll love this recipe!

    • An easy self-saucing apple pudding.
    • Homemade toffee sauce.
    • Great recipe for cooking apples.
    • Perfect for Bonfire Night and Halloween.
    • Delicious with custard or cream.

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Ingredients for sticky toffee apple pudding.

    There are essentially 3 components to this easy apple pudding. A layer of sliced apples, a sweet vanilla sponge, and a homemade toffee sauce, which sinks down through the sponge during baking!

    Apples - I like to use tart cooking apples like Bramleys. Feel free to use sweeter eating apples instead.

    For the sponge;

    Butter - unsalted butter that has been softened.

    Sugar - golden caster sugar or swap for white caster sugar.

    Eggs - 2 large eggs at room temperature.

    Vanilla Extract - use a good quality vanilla extract and not vanilla essence.

    Flour - use self-raising flour which has the raising agent added.

    For the toffee sauce;

    Dark Brown Sugar - substitute with light brown sugar if that's all you have.

    Boiling Water - mixes with the sugar to make the toffee sauce.

    🔪 How to make sticky toffee apple pudding

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    One: Cream together the softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.

    Two: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.

    Three: Fold in the flour until combined.

    Four: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples and lay them on the bottom of a buttered 2 litre baking dish.

    Making the sponge in a mixing bowl.

    Five: Top the apples with the sponge mixture and use the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly.

    Six: Whisk together the dark brown sugar and boiling water in a jug until the sugar has dissolved. Pour this on top of the sponge.

    Seven: Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.

    💭 Expert tips

    • Instead of making one large pudding, you could make 6 individual puddings in small ramekins.
    • Don't forget to butter the baking dish. It will prevent the apples from sticking and burning.
    • Make the sponge mixture first, then peel and slice the apples. This will prevent them from going brown.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    Serve the toffee apple pudding with custard, cream, clotted cream, or homemade no-churn honeycomb ice cream!

    📖 Variations

    • Add pecan nuts or walnuts to the top of the sponge before baking it in the oven.
    • Swap the apples for pears, or use a combination of both.
    • Add a handful of dried cranberries or chopped dried dates to the sponge mixture for extra flavour.
    • For a sweeter version, use eating apples such as Granny Smith.

    🥡 Storage

    Store: Leftover pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Reheat: Microwave until warm.

    Freeze: Allow to cool and freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature before reheating.

    ❓ Frequently asked questions

    Can you reheat sticky toffee apple pudding?

    Yes, you can! Reheat portions in the microwave until warm. It can also be eaten at room temperature.

    Can I make this vegan?

    I haven't tried making a vegan version of this pudding, but the butter could be replaced with a dairy-free butter alternative and flax egg for the standard hens' eggs.
