Recipe - Warm apple pudding for a cold day

 One afternoon, I found some beautiful Kogyoku apples at a supermarket shelve.

The apple is pretty hard to come by, it only shows up in Autumn. Kogyoku apple is sour apple, perhaps little sweeter than Granny Smith.

When you see this apple, it’s time to cook warm apple pies or apple crumble.

This year, I tried making apple pudding.

Apple pudding is a simple dessert, and simple to make. And moreover, it is delicious – When I made this at home, half of it went to my neighbor. Within 10 minutes, she rang back and said she loved it.
