Butterscotch Apple Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 -3 apples, diced (cooking ones are best, but I use whatever I have on hand)
1/2 cup milk
Topping
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups water

Preparation

Sift the flour, baking powder, spice and salt together.
Peel, core & dice apples and toss them into the flour mixture.
Add milk and mix with a knife to blend all the ingredients.
Spread mixture into a greased baking dish approx 9\" (23cm) square or a round one of similar size.
Measure the topping ingredients in the order given into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Pour boiling mixture carefully over the batter in the pan.
Bake uncovered at 375'- 400'F (190' - 200'C) for approx 45-60mins, or until topping is firm in the centre and golden brown.
Serve warm with sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
