Birds' Nest Pudding

The apples can be cored, peeled, and stuffed with sugar up to 4 hours ahead; cover with a damp towel and refrigerate. The batter should be made fresh and poured over the pre-baked apples immediately before the final baking to maintain the airiness from the beaten egg whites.

Store leftover pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The texture will become more dense and custard-like as it sits. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or serve cold with cream or custard sauce. This dessert is best enjoyed the day it's made.
