Apple Pudding Cake with Butter Cream Sauce

by Emily Buys 27 Comments

Apple Pudding Cake with Butter Cream SauceOh boy did this recipe blow my mind! The cake by itself is delicious, but then adding a cream sauce made up of butter, sugar, and cream, oh my goodness! I think I made little sounds of ecstasy with every single bite! I have some other apple recipes, but this one is even simpler than some of the other ones. Peeling the apples isn’t necessary, and to grate them I just stuck them in my Cuisinart and the job was done!

Apple Corer, slicer, and peeler

Because so many delicious apple recipes do require peeling and coring, I want to share with you my favorite kitchen tool to master this feat with ease! The Johnny Apple Peeler has a clamp base, opposed to a suction that many of today’s products have. I like the clamp because you can rest assured this is completely secure while you work. With the Johnny Apple Peeler, you will have your apples peeled, cored, and sliced in no time at all! It’s pretty fun to use too!

Apple Pudding with Butter Cream Sauce I hope this recipe is as much of a hit with your family as it was with mine!

    Just made this, looks delish, but it took an extra 30 minutes for a toothpick to come out clean. Hope it’s as good as it looks!

    Oh how I love Apple Hill! I’ve got to make it out this year because I’ve missed a couple. I love to go to Kids Inc. and get their walk-in apple pie with hot caramel sauce. Yum!

    Do you pour the butter cream over the entire cake or just individually on each piece ??? I’m thinking of poking whol8and putting it over the whole cake

  10. Emily Buys says

    September 25, 2016 at 2:00 PM

    Hi Jessica, I personally add the sauce to individual pieces, just for more flavor and people can choose how much they want. You can definitely try doing it poke-cake style. Let me know how you like it!

    So, what type of apples did you use for this recipe? It doesnt say. . . . . . .

  12. Emily Buys says

    November 9, 2016 at 10:54 AM

    You can use any apple you’d like, but I always use green – Granny Smith are great for baking.

    Turned out great!! Many compliments. I had to bake this for 60 minutes to get it to set. Since I was taking it to a potluck I could not do the sauce there. I turned it into a poke cake and poured the sauce into the cake and all over it. That worked out great and everyone loved it. Next time I probably will add a little Rum or Bourbon to the sauce just for flavor since the alcohol will cook out.

    What size is a 2quart? Would a 9 X 13 be the right size baking dish?

  15. Emily Buys says

    April 6, 2017 at 11:59 PM

    Hi Trudy, You’ll want to use something more like an 8×8 or 9×9 dish.

    Do you use plain flour really self rising in this recipe

  17. Emily Buys says

    April 12, 2017 at 12:32 AM

    I typically use regular flour and not self rising.

    Hi- do you need to serve the cake warm from the oven? Does the sauce also need to be served warm?

  19. Emily Buys says

    April 17, 2017 at 3:06 PM

    The sauce serves and pours best when warm. You can eat this all cold of course, but I prefer it warm.

    Ok i have to know where is apple hill farm? Sounds like a wonderful place to go and see.

    Apple Hill is located in Placerville, CA. It’s heavenly!!

    Do you peel the apples before you grate them?

  23. Emily Buys says

    July 24, 2017 at 8:28 PM

    No peeling necessary, Shevawn! You can if you want to, of course.

  24. Van says

    Can I use a sugar substitute ?

  25. Emily Buys says

    January 28, 2018 at 5:10 PM

    I imagine you could give it a try, Van. As with all baking, sugar substitutes don’t always yield the best results. Think of it like a homemade cake, and whether or not a sugar substitute works with that. Best of luck!
