Apple pudding with date sauce


Long steamed cake is a very unique British tradition, I love the aroma, the extra soft and moist texture.


1. Cut 2 green sour apples into cubes, cook with 60gm sherry, 60gm butter, a pinch of salt and brown sugar (to your taste) until soft, place at the bottom of a buttered bowl.
