• Put the Calvados, brandy or apple juice with the lemon juice and maple syrup into the tin.
• Put them into the oven and cook for about 40 to 50 minutes or until tender.
• Then take the tin out of the oven, remove apples to a plate or dish and pour the cooking juices and liquid into a saucepan. (Making sure, the nuts are not included - strain them out and put them back with the apples).
• When you want to eat pudding, put the saucepan on a high heat on the hob. Let bubble until reduced and thickened; it should be like a thick sticky syrup.
