To begin I peeled, cored and sliced the apples into chunks.
I sprayed a square baking pan with cooking spray and poured the apples into it.
I sprinkled some ground cinnamon on top of the apples.
For the batter I used a large mixing bowl and dumped in the flour, meringue powder, granulated sugar baking powder and salt.
I stirred well to combine the dry ingredients.
Then I added some maple syrup, olive oil, almond milk and a large egg to the dry ingredients.
I used a wooden spoon to stir the wet ingredients into the dry until all were moistened.
When blended I scraped the batter into the baking pan on top of the apples.
Next I combined the boiling water, granulated sugar and cornstarch in a glass measuring cup.
I poured the boiling water mixture carefully over the batter and the apples in the baking pan.
Then I put it in a 350F oven for 45 minutes or until the center of the pudding bounced back when pressed.
You can also use a toothpick if you only insert it into the cake portion and make sure it comes out clean.
This Apple Pudding is a delicious combination of tender baked apples and a sweet, cake-like topping. It’s an easy apple dessert that feels homemade and comforting without requiring a lot of effort.

This looks so good! How important is the meringue powder? What does it do in this recipe?
Hi Julie,
You can just omit the meringue powder. I have stopped using it in my recipes because so many people don't have it on hand. I had read that it just gives gluten free baking a bit of a lift.
Enjoy,
Kathleen
