Caramelised Apple Pudding with Chef David Rice

Caramelised Apple Pudding with Chef David Rice

As the seasons change, there is something particularly comforting about a warm apple pudding fresh from the oven.

In our latest video, Pavilion Chef David Rice shows us how to make his Caramelised Apple Pudding - a soft vanilla sponge baked over cooking apples, brown sugar and cinnamon, which caramelise beautifully as it cooks.

Currently featured on our menu at The Glasshouse, it’s a lovely seasonal dessert to enjoy with us - or to recreate at home.
