MethodThe beauty of this pud is that the amounts are variable and you can substitute what you have in your own cupboard to vary. The only 'essential' is the apple and custard.Thickly strew the base of a pie tray with light brown sugar. On top of this place three tbsp shredded coconut, 3 tbsp currants, three apples cored, peeled and sliced; add a shake of cinnamon, 3 tbsp water and toss together. Add a layer of caster sugar (I use vanilla sugar, and if I have it I add the seeds if a vanilla pod). Place in a low oven for about 30 minutes until softening. Allow to cool (I usually do this part the night before). Place half the apple mix in the bottom of an oven-proof bowl about 6" wide and quite high. Spread 3 slices of bread with jam (blackcurrant is nice, as good quality as you have handy) and place over the fruit. Repeat with remainder apple mix/layer of bread and jam. Using either fresh or bought custard, pour a layer over the top until you have about 2cm layer on top the mixture. Sprinkle with a tbsp coconut. Leave to stand for around 2 hours, then bake on 170C until bubbling (about 30 mins). | |||||||||||||||||||
