APPLE BREAD PUDDING III

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan. Cover the bottom with half of the bread cubes and then sprinkle on half of the apples. Repeat with the remaining bread and apples.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, cream, sugar, milk and cinnamon; beat well. Pour this mixture evenly over the bread cubes and apples.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Serve hot.

APPLE BREAD PUDDING WITH VANILLA SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk the cream, milk, eggs, yolks, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, and ¼ tsp cinnamon until blended.
• Add the bread cubes, apples and raisins, and toss several times with a large wooden spoon to ensure even saturation.
• Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, tossing the mixture occasionally with the wooden spoon to make sure the bread is soaked.
• Fifteen minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 350. Grease an 8 inch square baking dish with butter. Scoop the pudding into the baking dish. Mix the granulated sugar and the remaining cinnamon together and sprinkle it over the bread pudding.
• Place the baking dish in a shallow baking pan on the center oven rack and pour enough hot water into the large pan to come two thirds of the way up the sides of the pudding baking dish. (This is important as the bath helps the pudding to be fluffy).
• Bake the pudding until the top is golden and crisp and has risen in the center, about 50 minutes.
• Remove the pudding from the water bath and allow it to cool while you make the sauce.
• Sauce:.
• Scald the cream, all but ¼ cup of the milk, sugar and salt in a heavy medium size saucepan over medium heat.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining milk in a small cup. Stir it into the cream mixture.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat, whisking constantly. Continue boiling and whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla and nutmeg. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

BUTTERSCOTCH APPLE CRISP

• Place apples in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, pudding mix and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over apples., Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until apples are tender. Serve with ice cream if desired.

APPLE RAISIN BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Arrange quartered bread in 1 layer on a large(17-by 13-inch)baking sheet and toast until pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes, then cool on baking sheet; leave oven on.
• Meanwhile, toss apples with 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl until coated; Cook in a dry 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, swirling skillet and turning slices over occasionally, until tender and pale golden about 15 minutes.
• Combine bread and apples in a 2-quart souffle or 2-inch deep baking dish(about 8-by 12-inch oval) Note; when I made this I layered the bread putting the apples between the layer of bread using an 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish.
• Whisk together half and half, eggs, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar with salt in a bowl; then pour mixture over bread and apples; Let soak at room temperature 15 minutes.
• Bake in a water bath(see note at bottom of page) until edge is set but center still trembles slightly when dish is gently shaken, 50 minutes to 1 hour for a souffle dish or 35 to 40 minutes for shallow dish. Cool pudding to warm in baking dish on a wire rack, about 1 hour (pudding will continue to SET as it cools).
• To prepare water bath for baking; put your filled pan in a larger pan and add enough boiling-hot water to reach halfway up the side of the pan with the pudding in it.
