🥘 Ingredients
1/2 lb. of bread crumbs, 1/2 lb. of suet, 1/2 lb. of currants, 1/2 lb. of apples, 1/2 lb. of moist sugar, 6 eggs, 12 sweet almonds, 1/2 saltspoonful of grated nutmeg, 1 wineglassful of brandy.
👨🍳 Method
Chop the suet very fine; wash the currants, dry them, and pick away the stalks and pieces of grit; pare, core, and chop the apple, and grate the bread into fine crumbs, and mince the almonds. Mix all these ingredients together, adding the sugar and nutmeg; beat up the eggs, omitting the whites of three; stir these to the pudding, and when all is well mixed, add the brandy, and put the pudding into a buttered mould; tie down with a cloth, put it into boiling water, and let it boil for 3 hours.

⭐ Reader Reviews
Honest opinions from readers who have explored this book.
I tried this Rich Sweet Apple Pudding recipe from Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management and was immediately thrown back to the days of my grandmother's kitchen. I found that the combination of breadcrumbs, suet, and apples created a texture that was surprisingly reminiscent of a dense, moist fruitcake. But the real delight came from the brandy-infused almonds, which added a delightful crunch and a warm, boozy note that elevated the entire dish. This recipe is perfect for the modern comfort-seeker looking to indulge in a hearty, old-fashioned dessert. I was surprised by how the nutmeg and brandy complemented the apples, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. I baked mine in a modern oven for a bit less time and was able to easily adapt the mould to a buttered baking dish. If you're craving a nostalgic, heartwarming treat, this pudding is sure to satisfy.
