Bramley Apple And Sticky Toffee Puds

   Place butter, sugar, flour, eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Use an electric whisk to beat together until smooth. Stir in the apples.

2. 2

   Divide the mixture between 4 greased microwave proof ramekins or teacups. Arrange the cups in a circle on the turntable and microwave on High for 3-3 1/2 mins or until the surface of the sponges looks almost dry. Stand for 5mins.

3. 3

   Place the toffees and cream together in a bowl. Microwave on High for 2-3 mins, stirring occasionally until the toffees have melted and a spoon sauce forms.

4. 4

   Turn out the sponges on four dessert plates, spoon over the sauce and serve hot with custard.

5. 5

   To cook conventionally: Preheat the oven to 180oC/Fan 160oC/350oF/Gas Mark 4. Spoon the mixture into 4 (175ml/6floz) buttered dariole moulds.

Heat the toffees and the cream together in a small pan until smooth sauce forms.
