Vickys Apple Cinnamon Swirl Pudding

• 50 grams brown sugar (a loose 1/3 cup)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 112 grams sunflower spread / butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 210 grams gluten free blend / plain flour (1 & 1/2 cups)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp xanthan gum if using a gf flour blend
• 180 ml rice milk or light coconut milk
• 1 medium apple, diced into small chunks

1. Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350F and grease & flour a standard 9 x 5 loaf tin
2. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and set aside
3. Cream the granulated sugar and sunflower spread together until light and fluffy, then mix in the vanilla extract
4. Add in the milk then sift in the flour, baking powder and xanthan gum if using together, stirring into the creamed mixture until just combined
5. Gluten free flour is thirsty so add more milk if you need it, the consistency should be thick like a banana bread batter
6. Pour half of the batter into the loaf tin and spoon a line of the cinnamon sugar down the centre
7. Use the end of the spoon or a clean finger to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture around a little
8. Now evenly spread half of the diced apple on top and pat in slightly
9. Pour the rest of the batter on top of the apple layer
10. Repeat the cinnamon sugar line and swirl it, then gently pat the last of the apple into the top of the cake.
11. Save a pinch of the cinnamon mixture for sprinkling over the very top
12. Bake for 70 minutes, the top should be caramelized and the cake pulled in from the edges of the tin
13. Let stand in the tin for 10 minutes for the outside to set enough to be able to release, then run a sharp knife around the edge and remove from the tin
14. Serve immediately with hot custard poured over, it will be slightly gooey in the middle.
