Eve’s Pudding

Eve’s pudding is the modern name of a baked pudding with a lower layer of chopped apples and an upper one of a sponge mixture flavoured with lemon and vanilla. This is really a descendant of a grander pudding of the 18th century, Duke of Cumberland’s pudding, which was boiled. The apples were therefore inside rather than underneath. The surrounding pudding was made of a very highly egged suet mixture. It was served with melted butter, wine, and sugar.
