madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe: Apple-Cranberry Bread Pudding.
4 slices white bread, toasted and cubed
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup milk
2 eggses
1/4 cup boiled cider
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 ounces diced apples
1/4 cup cranberries, halved
pinch sugar for topping
Heat the oven to 325. Grease a 1-quart baking dish, or four 8-10 oz ramekins. Place bread in a mixing bowl and heat the butter with the milk until the butter melts, and pour over the bread. Soak for 10 minutes.
Beat together the eggses, boiled cider, cinnamon, sugar and salt. Stir in the diced apples and cranberries. Pour into the prepared dish(es) and sprinkle the top with sugar. Bake until golden brown and set, about 35-40 minutes (less for ramekins). Remove from oven and serve warm.
What worked: It was a good fall dessert for a homeowners' meeting. Went nicely with vanilla ice cream.
What didn't: The bread needed to be cubed and stale up all day - it disintegrated into mush. Tasty mush, but still.
Will I make it again? It was okay, so I might.
Note that the recipe never tells you to add the bread/milk mixture into the eggses... difficult to make a bread pudding that way. I figured it out ahead of time, fortunately.
