Method
 

How to Make Malvern Pudding
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Peel, core, and chop the cooking and eating apples into small pieces, then set them aside.
  3. In a saucepan, melt 45 g of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples, 60 g of caster sugar, and lemon rind. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the apples soften and develop a delightful aroma, then transfer them to a baking dish.
  4. In another saucepan, melt the remaining butter over low heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat, and whisk in the egg yolks and vanilla until well combined.
  6. Pour the custard over the apple mixture in the baking dish. Then, mix the demerara sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle it generously on top.
  7. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set beautifully.
