Gluten-free baked Apple Charlotte recipe

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6 and lightly grease the ovenproof dish.

2. 2

   Chop the dates and walnuts into small pieces, then peel and core the apples and cut into 2cm/ 3/4in chunks.

3. 3

   Melt the margarine in a small saucepan and sift the flour into a large bowl, making a well in the centre.

4. 4

   Pour the melted margarine into the flour with the rice milk and the egg replacer mixture and beat together until you have a smooth and glossy batter (add a dash more milk if you think it necessary), and then continue to beat lightly for another 12 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the sugar, dates, walnuts and apples to the batter and mix thoroughly before pouring into the ovenproof dish.

6. 6

   Spread the mixture evenly in the dish and bake in the oven for 4550 minutes until golden and cooked through (a skewer or cocktail stick inserted into the centre of the pudding should come out clean).

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and serve while hot.
