Specialty Recipe

Apple Bread Pudding

This dish can be prepared the night before, if desired, then baked before serving time.

Ingredients

One 1-pound loaf firm raisin bread, sliced

1/4 cup butter (1/8 pound)

3 cups peeled and sliced tart apples (3 medium)

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 eggs, lightly beaten

2-1/2 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

Maple syrup

If you plan to bake this dish immediately, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Remove the crust from the bread and cut the slices into 3/4-inch cubes. In a medium frying pan, melt the butter. Add the apple and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until tender.

Combine the flour, 2 Tablespoons of the sugar, and the cinnamon and stir into the apple. Cook, stirring gently for 1 minute or until thickened. Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Layer the bread cubes over the apple mixture.

In a medium bowl, mix the egg, milk, salt, and remaining sugar. Pour over the bread cubes. Using a spoon, press down on the bread so it absorbs the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, or bake immediately.

Bake for 50 to 70 minutes or until golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cut into squares and serve warm, with maple syrup.

Serves: 8
