description Eve's Pudding Overview
Eve's Pudding is a traditional British baked dessert consisting of a base of stewed cooking apples topped with a Victoria sponge cake mixture. As it bakes, the sponge rises to form a golden, light crust while the apples soften beneath into a thick, fruity sauce. The dessert's name is a direct allusion to the biblical story of Eve and the apple, reflecting its primary ingredient. It is widely prepared in the United Kingdom as a comforting, simple family dessert and is most commonly served warm with custard or cream.
