Apple pie
This is a classic pudding that everyone enjoys and smells absolutely amazing when baking in the oven. Perfect all year round.
What goes well with this pudding?
I love baking this and even better that it can be eaten hot or cold. So, depending on the weather, if it’s warm outside then ice cream is best, on those chilly nights then it has to be hot custard drizzled all over the top!
