The Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C degrees.
  2. Prepare the fruit and place in a pan with the sugar and apple juice.
  3. Simmer on a low heat until the fruit is tender.
  4. Place in a small pie dish or individual ramekins.
  5. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
  6. Slowly add the eggs in about ten additions.
  7. Stir in the flour, almonds and almond essence.
  8. Spoon on top of the fruit, sprinkle with flaked almonds and place in an oven for 30-40 minutes until feels spongy.
  9. For the crème Anglais, place the yolks and the sugar into a small bowl.
  10. Scald the cream until you see bubbles at the edge.
  11. Pour over the yolks, stirring all the time.
      Clean out the pan so there is no protein on the bottom.
  12. Return the mixture to the pan and place on a very gentle heat stirring all the time. Do not allow to simmer or boil. It will thicken slowly and coat the back of a spoon. Strain.
  13. Add the vanilla extract. Serve room temperature with the pudding.
