Bread Pudding with Apples & Cranberries

by:




I must admit to total ignorance of the treasure that is bread pudding until just a few short years ago . I had always thought something along the lines of bread pudding?? uggggghhhhh sounds dry and BORRRRRRRING!! Then one day at work, we had a pot luck (we had a LOT of those :-D ) and someone brought in a pan of one of the most scrumptions, delectable concoctions Id ever had!! When she let me know this was the dreaded bread pudding, I became hooked, for life!!! How could I have been so wrong???? Well, at least now Ive learned!! There are MANY variations on bread pudding . the one below is what weve come up with that we love to make again and again!! Enjoy!! And in only a few minutes you can whip up a decadent batch of Caramel Sauce to drizzle over the top!! Oh! And by the way, I put cranberries in this since (surprisingly!) many people dont like raisins, but they DO like dried cranberries!! BUT if your folks like raisins, definitely use them instead!!
