Apple Bread Pudding

This is my version based on Betty Crocker 1961 and this recipe linked by isis.

Apple Bread Pudding

3 1/2 C torn up bread
2 C milk
pinch salt
2 eggs
1/3 to 1/2 C sugar (1/2 is fine, but I think 1/3 suits me better)
1/2 t cinnamon
1 baking apple, chopped
2 T butter

Place bread and milk in bowl and stir or knead with hand until milk is largely absorbed. I use whatever is at hand; lately it's been pita leftover from Israeli-style lunches at work, frozen until needed. Beat the eggs, add the sugar, salt and cinnamon. Stir into bread. Stir in chopped apple.

Melt butter in 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Pour in bread mixture. Bake an hour or so at 350° F until the top is lightly browned and the pudding is pulling away a bit from the sides of the dish. Let cool enough to eat! I don't make a sauce, but vanilla ice cream would do very well.

This sounds DELICIOUS. I think I may attempt it this evening, as a wind-down to the weekend, particularly if it snows.

I wanted to make it sort of apple pie-ish. I'm going to try a bit less sugar and a bit more cinnamon to that end. And get ice ice cream!

I have vanilla bean ice cream in the freezer, just waiting for your recipe.

Oooo, that sounds yummy! I'm rather excited that it's so simple. I'm with you on the less sugar idea, too. :)

So simple! I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you make any interesting changes.

Good! If you made any amendments I'd love to hear about them.

I used cinnamon toast left over from the recipe I'm going to post next. :)
