Expert Tips

You can bake the cake and make the sauce a day ahead and store them separately (refrigerate sauce). Warm the sauce in a saucepan over low heat, and heat individual pieces of cake uncovered in the microwave on High for 25 to 35 seconds or until warm.
Braeburn, Cortland, Granny Smith or Rome apples are all good choices for this pudding cake.
