Ingredients
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 None medium apples (about 10 oz), peeled, cored, quartered and cut into 3mm slices
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 None vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
- 4 slices fruit cake
- 3 None large eggs
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Method
- Put the brown sugar, water and apples in a medium pan and cook, stirring, over medium heat for about 5 mins or until the fruit is tender.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a deep 6-cup ovenproof dish.
- Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and add the vanilla bean. Heat until just below boiling point, then remove from the heat and leave to stand for 5 mins. Discard the vanilla bean.
- Meanwhile, cut the bread slices into quarters. Arrange the bread and apples in alternate layers in the dish.
- Whisk the eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl then gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture to make a thin custard. Pour the custard carefully over the bread and apples, then place the dish in a large baking dish or roasting pan. Add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the side of the pudding dish.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 50 mins or until the custard is set. Serve hot.
