Step 1

Peel, thinly slice and place the apples in a saucepan with the brown sugar and approximately 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer gently on low heat until soft and sauce has formed. Then arrange them in the bottom of the buttered baking dish.

Step 2

Thinly slice the butter. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy. Then beat one egg at a time, adding eggs one at a time to creamed mixture. When all the egg is in, carefully and lightly fold in the ground almonds.

Step 3

Add small spoonfuls of the mixture evenly over the apples. Now spread this mixture over the apples, and even out the surface with the back of a tablespoon. Then bake on a highish shelf in the oven for exactly 1 hour.

Step 4

This pudding is equally good served warm or cold - either way, it's nice with some chilled pouring cream. Once cooled, it will keep in the fridge for 3 or 4 days.
