Apple Surprise Pudding

Possibly the simplest cooked pudding in my repertoire, the surprise in this pudding is that it starts at the bottom of a brew that looks like gravy and floats to the top while it is cooking.

Today's surprise was in fact that I used bananas instead of apple and it worked just as well.

Apple Surprise Pudding
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
large cup chopped apple (or two sliced bananas for the banana version)
1/2 cup milk

Mix all that and put it in a generous sized greased oven dish.

Mix up sauce: 
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or essence)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups boiling water

Pour this over the dough, sprinkle some cinnamon on top, and bake in a moderate oven for 20-25 minutes.
