It has been a beautiful fall day here in Minnesota. The new crop of crisp, tart apples are in the stores and I have not made an Apple-Cinnamon Bread Pudding in a while so.... I wish you could smell it:-)
It smells delightful, homey, sweet and cinnamony. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Apple-Cinnamon Bread Pudding
1/4 c. butter
2 c. chopped peeled tart apples
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
8 c. cubed French bread
3/4 c. butterscotch chips
3/4 c. cinnamon chips
1/2 c. raisins or craisins
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
4 eggs
3 c. 1/2+1/2
1 t. vanilla extract
Sweetened whipped cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, melt the butter. Stir in chopped apples and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat for 6-7 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Cool completely.
In a large bowl, place the bread cubes, cooled apple mixture, butterscotch and cinnamon chips, raisins and walnuts; toss to coat. Place this mixture in a greased 13x9x2" baking dish.
In a large bowl, beat the 1/2+1/2, eggs and vanilla well; pour over bread mixture. Press the bread cubes down into the egg mixture until all the cubes are soaked. Bake 45-50 minutes or until the pudding is puffed up and set, especially in the middle.
Serve warm with sweetened whipped cream. Makes large 12 servings.
